from Nolan Bianchi of the Detroit News,
Seider, 19, is currently playing on loan with Rogle BK of the Swedish Hockey League and was ruled out of the tournament (WJC) by Red Wings assistant general manager Ryan Martin in November.
The prized blue-line prospect told hosts of the “Locked On Red Wings Podcast” that the decision basically came down to the amount of games he’ll have the chance to play with his pro team in Sweden, vs. the amount of game action he’d see by representing Germany at the World Juniors.
“I think I would miss up to 16 games during (that) time,” Seider said.
