I think people are getting a bit ahead of themselves with Seiloff. Very good pick in the spot he went, and a good example of why rebuilding teams need to hit some second round picks. But teenage defenceman are very rare in the NHL. This guy still has a lot that he could accomplish in Junior yet. Kronwall didn't see the NHL until he was 22 and was 24 when he played a full season. I like him and hope to see him in Flames uniform one day. But I think it's at least another year in junior, and one in the AHL away from happening.
