Seider not Playing in the WJC

[Pop Zeus]

I don't see much advantage to having kids who've played pro for 2-3 months or more going back to play in a junior tournament.
So I think this is a good thing.

In general I agree, though I think there are exceptions. I don't believe Seider is one of them. No need for him to go back to that level.

I think it is a great experience for them. High-stakes, playing with and against the best in your peer group. I think even that it is a break in the routine playing with different players and different coaches learning different things from them is beneficial for their development
From a management perspective it is a no-brainer to make the kids happy and let them play. It is very important for most of them and something they will cherish for the rest of their lives.

These guys spend their lives having moments they can cherish forever.

All-in-all, I think the SHL is a better place for development than the WJC, but it's a pity we won't really see what Germany's made of. They have a decent shot at winning a game or two with Seider in the lineup, but without him, they're a bit thin.

I would love to see him go there and clean up, but really only bad things could come from him playing. It seemed like he was on the ice 40 minutes a game in last year's tournament, I imagine it would be the same this year. The odds of him getting hurt, or literally killing a child with an open ice hit seem fairly high.

He played about 25 mins a game last year and I think he is just as likely to get hurt playing 20 minutes a game against bigger, faster, stronger men.
I'm sure that unless he was in the Wings' roster, he would have wanted to go under normal circumstances. He probably would have went this year had we drafted Stuetzle. It's too bad for the Germans. They would have a real shot at winning a medal.

I'd rather have him going up against mature adults playing for a paycheck every day, as opposed to teenagers fueled by patriotism and prone to impetuosity.

He made his memories last year, now he's making money time to move on. That's just me.

Agree. With the money he’s making he can buy some fantastic memories involving beautiful women doing dirty things. Those are memories to be cherished.
