I don't think either are great comparison's myself. What Sieloff provides that Regehr never could is above average skating ability for a shutdown defender. That is the one aspect of his game that has me very excited about his future. That mix of mobility and physicality is extremely rare, and although he may not have much of an offensive upside he does posses a relatively good first pass.
I am not all that familiar with his shot because he rarely gets the opportunity to use it, but if he can work on his skills with the puck then we could certainly see an increase in his offensive production.
