That is exciting, the Flames haven't had a hard hitting D prospect since they had a few of them ~10-15 years ago. Hopefully Sieloff can make the Flames in a year or two and provide some much needed toughness to the back end.
At the moment I see Engelland being the 7th Dman next season with Wotherspoon regularly in the top 6. Sieloff, Kulak, and Cundari will fight over the first injury call up.
Also, regarding the conversation about defence playing forward, that is nothing special. Wing is the easiest position in hockey to play and any centre or defenceman with a bit of hockey sense can slot in on the wing with little issues if needed.
