Weisbrod hints that Seiloff could be with the Flames (small chance beyond a 9 game look-see IMO), and very possible he starts with Abbotsford THIS season as a 19 YO. (USHL rule)
Quote:
“Another friend called and told me what a physical presence he thought Patrick Sieloff was and what a key factor he was when the U.S. beat Canada,” Weisbrod said. “He’s been outstanding. He’s another guy we had at development camp last year after he was drafted and this year, he was bigger and stronger and more mature. Sieloff’s a guy that could, conceivably, be playing hockey very soon.”
“We came out of this year’s development camp thinking, ‘Boy, this guy might be ready to play pro hockey now.’ We’re obviously in a different state as an organization than we were this time last year. We’re trying to improve our depth and restock our youth and retool our team. It’s really a good opportunity for a lot of the young guys that are ready to start growing in a pro environment.
“Patrick’s a mature, hungry disciplined kid. I think his time is coming sooner rather than later.”

He is going to be a long time NHLer IMO, regardless of what some half baked blogging analysis suggests. Its amazing how many people focus on one statistic to determine what a player will be moving forward.
