I still think Sieloff will crack the lineup as a defenceman eventually, but it's great for him to have some experience as a forward. Versatility is paramount for a player like him.
The only downside with Sieloff is that he has about zero offensive upside. He's scored 12 goals in competitive hockey in his entire career. Doesn't exactly scream 'forward' to me. He plays big and he's not easy to push around. I've seen him listed at 6'1" and he's a heavy, physical player. I don't see why he can't succeed as a defenceman.
