Raymond’s presence in Milan emphasizes Detroit’s young core’s global reach. His creative playmaking and goal-scoring instinct translate into fantasy appeal, especially if he continues to anchor a potent top line and power-play unit, delivering multi-point weeks that fantasy managers crave during exhibition and Olympic windows.

Seider anchors Detroit’s blue line in Milan, emblematic of young, high-upside defense talent crossing borders. His physical game, junior-to-pro trajectory, and rising power-play edge position him as a fantasy anchor for multi-category leagues with upside on assists, blocks, and occasional goals.
