Seiloff himself seems to believe he is at the right weight for his game to transition well to the NHL. Didn't he say he was around 200 lbs at dev camp? Said if he was any bigger he would be too slow and any smaller he wouldn't be able to use his body as well as he could.
19 or not, his kind of style is one where his size dictates his transition to the NHL. He thinks he is big enough, the Flames think he has a legit shot at making the big team, so I think there is a very real chance he get there this year. If he goes the the AHL for a stint, all the better. It is a pretty big jump even if you are ready. Will be interesting to see how he fares against NHL calibre forwards.
