He could be a huge boost to the lineup if he makes the team this year. I wouldn't want him spending much time in the pressbox though, as young guys need icetime... Either he bumps someone from the lineup or he goes back to Windsor after 9 games.

Sieloff was the quickest skater of the D-men in the practices/game. He's not Brodie fast, but he isn't a slouch either. There is no perfect comparable, but his makeup overall is similar in style to those guys, just that he's fairly quick. It's that combination that is putting him in the conversation to start the season in Calgary.
He is the most "guaranteed" NHLer of the defense core because of his defensive game + speed.
