I would temper my expectations of Sieloff as an NHL defenseman next year. There is absolutely no need to rush him. He has played only one year in the OHL. In terms of game experience he is pretty green. There is some offensive upside to Sieloff so let him develop his offensive game a bit. Let him play big minutes in junior and in all situations and maybe he can flesh out his offensive game a bit which is always useful not for the purposes of being a point producer in the NHL but for the purposes of being able to play top 4 minutes in the NHL. Sieloff should go back to juniors and work hard on improving his puck skills.
