Cool, he'll get to travel with the Heat and get accustomed to the pros. Any chance he'll get to play at all?

I saw Sieloff tweeted this earlier, any chance he's getting an ATO too?

Back to Calgary tomorrow to hopefully hear some good news.

More likely to see team doctors about his groin (I think it was his groin he injured that put him out for the season)


Ive heard nothing but good things about Kulak this year so hopefully he gets some ice time for the Heat. Interesting player to watch out for.

Thanks I haven't been following Sieloff too closely this year (obviously).

Expect Coda Gordon and possibly Pat Sieloff (if he's cleared) to join Kulak with the Heat.

I spoke with Kulak this morning and he's unbelievably excited to be with the Heat right now. Really nice kid.

Kulak reminds me a lot of TJ Brodie, although admittedly I haven't seen a lot of him.

From what I have seen, he seems smart, mobile, he's even similar in size to Brodie.

Would be pretty nice if both he and Culkin turned into "TJ Brodies" in the next few years.

How do these things work? Will they be with the Heat full time next year?

Kulak, Ramage, Seiloff, Wotherspoon, Breen, Culkin. Not a bad batch of D prospects it appears.

The ATO is just for the rest of this season. He can't play for the Heat next year as he won't be old enough. He'll be back with the Giants.

It was a warning, not a heads up.

Don't, forget Ramage.

I hope so.

The thing I like about them, is whether they are offensive or defensive minded d-men, they are all fairly mobile D-men (except Breen) who have decent size and can move the puck up the ice one way or the other. Key elements to being a successful D-man in today's NHL.

By decent size I mean projectable frames, they are all 6' or taller and have time to fill out.

Still though, I remember being excited about the former group of D prospects we used to have in Pelech, Negrin, Aulie and Baldwin, so I guess we'll just wait and see.
