As Flames Draft Watcher stated above though - Sieloff is definitely a better skater than Sarich ever was.

Sieloff is a better puck mover - not necessarily projected to be in any way offensive, but a good puck-mover out of the zone.

If Sieloff develops into a Sarich clone, it is a huge win though. Sarich was a huge part of Tampa's team when they won the cup, and was a big part of the Flames for most of his tenure here (minus the last couple of years). Seems to be a pretty big part suddenly in Colorado again too. I HOPE Sieloff develops into Sarich.
Sarich put up more points as a junior than Sieloff... different eras and all. If Sieloff becomes a Sarich type player we should all jump up and down for joy as you said.
