That's really my thoughts. I still think he is a good prospect and might well turn out to be a key part of the rebuild, but I think there were better options available. Girgensons was the 14th pick (where the Flames were originally) and is looking pretty good so far this year on an awful team. Hertl was a big win for the Sharks and Terravainen is looking like a great pick as well (although unproven). Of course taking one of them would mean no Sieloff, but even after Janko there was Maata, Pearson, etc.
That being said...if he can continue developing and become an NHL regular and Sieloff can regain the form he had before his injury woes it might end up being a great pick.
