Playing career
Junior
Sedoff developed within the youth system of HIFK in his hometown of Helsinki, Finland.[2] Seeking a path to the North American professional leagues, he entered the 2019 CHL Import Draft, where he was selected 25th overall by the Red Deer Rebels. He subsequently moved to Canada to join the Rebels in the Western Hockey League (WHL) for the 2019–20 season.[3]
After a temporary return to Finland due to the league disruptions caused by the COVID-19 pandemic— which included brief stints with FPS in Mestis and 26 matches for SaiPa in Liiga[2][4] — Sedoff rejoined Red Deer and established himself as one of the WHL's premier puck-moving defensemen.[3] During the 2021–22 campaign, he recorded a breakout performance with 61 points in 65 games.[5] He followed this with a 51-point showing in 59 games during the 2022–23 season, earning consecutive selections to the WHL Central First All-Star Team.[3][5][4]
Professional
Despite his high-scoring junior career, Sedoff went undrafted in the NHL Entry Draft.[3] On 2 March 2023, he signed a three-year, entry-level contract as a free agent with the Vegas Golden Knights.[6][4]
He transitioned to the professional ranks in the 2023–24 season, assigned to the Golden Knights' AHL affiliate, the Henderson Silver Knights.[1] Serving primarily as a defensive defenseman in his rookie year, he registered 10 assists in 46 games.[7] The following season, he scored his first professional goal, concluding the 2024–25 year with 14 points over 61 games.[7]
During his third season with Henderson, Sedoff was traded near the NHL trade deadline on 3 March 2026. The Golden Knights sent Sedoff and a 2028 third-round draft selection to the Nashville Predators in exchange for veteran forward Cole Smith.[8][9] Following the trade, the Predators reassigned Sedoff to their AHL affiliate, the Milwaukee Admirals, where he played out the remainder of the 2025–26 regular season.[7]
Personal
Sedoff was scheduled to start his military service for the Finnish army starting 14 April 2025. He was assigned to the sports school within the Guard Jaeger Regiment in Santahamina, Helsinki.[10]
