Confirmed with Link: Alex Chiasson traded for Patrick Sieloff

[Knave]

Chiasson needs a new start and he looked better in the Western Conference with Dallas. Maybe he can regain some of that.

IDK - it's a nothing move. Chiasson wasn't going to do anything for us. This guy might not either but he's not being paid $1-2 million.

 

[Tundraman]

Patrick Sieloff ... light/middle weight smaller Boro. Hard to see why he even got drafted and what he brings to the table for the Sens to accept him in a deal. Probably a number dump for Calgary.

On the other hand he is a goal a game D in the NHL....

Given that we're losing Wiercioch, it's nice to see the organization is being fastidious in replacing its 'defenceman named Patrick' quota.

 

[Boud]

Flames were quick to lock up their new acquisition, haha.

Didn't really have a choice since they had to qualify him by 5PM and I'm pretty sure Chiasson was willing to sign at the qualifying amount.

 

[Tundraman]

Probably just opened a spot for Robinson

I've watched a few Patrick Sieloff fights on YouTube, because those are his only highlights.

Based on those highlights, dude should really never fight. He isn't very good at it.

 

[CR15]

I'll take it.. Sieloff could still make the NHL as a bottom pairing D I'd give him better odds of contributing than a 5-7th rnd pick would.

Chiasson was useless moving forward you can't be touted as a young power forward then play with zero power in your game. Glad he isn't taking up a forward spot I imagine whoever fills it will be able to play with more intensity than this guy.

$800k for Chiasson in Calgary.

Patrick Sieloff ... light/middle weight smaller Boro. Hard to see why he even got drafted and what he brings to the table for the Sens to accept him in a deal.

He sounds more mobile than Boro. So maybe that's something they'd look at down the road if he can develop a little more and Boro's contract is expiring.

We should have kept chia and traded neil

$800k for Chiasson in Calgary.

Little shocking its so low. but not too much. needs a big year to show he is a very solid NHLer

 

[Real Smart Sens Fan]

We should have kept chia and traded neil

Neil was way better than Chia last year

 

[edguy]

We should have kept chia and traded neil

I doubt he wouldve signed so cheap with us. It was time for him to move on and i think he knew it

 

[Sens of Anarchy]

yay.

 

[Icelevel]

Spezza trade looks worse now imo with this trade

 

[Pierre from Orleans]

Will always remember him for that gap between his teeth.

 

[Tundraman]

It sounds like the Sens weren't going to qualify Chiasson but still tried to find him a home. As long as they didn't get a roster contract back it was a win for the Sens in that case. The 800k deal proves that Calgary didn't want him at his $1.2M to $1.3M qualifying offer either.

My scouting report on Sieloff

- awesome at holding the defensive blue line and will explode for the big hit
- okay skater, not afraid to handle the puck against a forecheck and skate to an open area
- very good breakout pass, usually tape to tape passing off his forehand
- defensive zone positioning is a work in progress, but he's only just turned 22
- makes some pretty terrible pinches at the neutral zone red line, but that's workable.
- in the offensive zone, he's got a good sense for pinching and holding the puck in
- lacks creativity in the offensive zone
- shot is not NHL calibre, although he has more goals per game than Alex Ovechkin.

Overall you've got a modern defensive defenseman - not an offensive player but a guy who can drive puck possession. You'll have to live with some of his adventures as he grows, his actual experience as a hockey player are comparable to many 19 year olds due to the injuries he's dealt with. Still has a shot at being a #5 / #4 but will never ut up more than 10-15 points.

Oh, and btw, Sieloff has a year left on his ELC.

 

[SpezDispenser]

Glad to be rid of Chiasson. Go away.

looks like he got the worst of that hit lol

 

[BonkTastic]

Between Sieloff and drafting a 6'6" kid with our 1st rounder, Aragorn will need to walk around town with a pillow in front of his crotch for the next 3 weeks, or at the very least tape it down before leaving the house.

Spezza trade looks worse now imo with this trade

The value most experts placed on Alex was a 5th round pick.

 

[Tundraman]

At least Sieloff is waiver exempt for the coming season

 

[Icelevel]

Probably why he's been so injured
