I don't know where to put this but one of our prospects got some props on a SI article.

The Calgary Flames created a lot of buzz with their selection of Mark Jankowski with the 21st pick in June, but their second rounder is ready to build some of his own. American-born Pat Sieloff has been a beast in his first training camp with the Windsor Spitfires. Acquired in the trade last season that sent Dallas Stars first-rounder Jack Campbell to Sault Ste. Marie, the 18-year-old defender is earning comparisons to Detroit's Niklas Kronwall for his robust, physical play.
"If he's hitting his teammates like this," one scout said after a recent scrimmage, "I can't wait to see him when he goes up against the guys he's supposed to hurt."
A strong start to the OHL season should earn the US National Team Development Program grad a spot with Team USA at the 2013 World Juniors.
