Dislike it. Both Bystrom and Thrower were on the board. He better tear it up in Windsor. His game seems to be hitting, but he's not very big at 173.

He is 198 LB. That is pretty good for an 18 year old kid.

Yeah. Hockeydb must be using old stats. He's actually 202 lbs according to a Windsor Spitfire article.

Oh, but according to NHL.com it says he is 198 lbs.

Very hard to tell from a player just from reading stats and articles. I think for all the players, even first round picks, the 18-20 age period really determines what path they go on. At this point its a waiting game. I am just excited to see Sven play full time next year.


If Sieloff ends up being a #3-4 D then I am more then happy. Could he be similar to Regehr?

Its all water weight

~200, close enough . Glad he'll be playing on the Spitfires next year. Bob Boughner should help in his development.

Better skater and puck mover. Guys like Regehr can't survive in today's NHL.

His offensive upside may also be higher than it appears.

He played on a stacked defensive program this past season and behind guys like
Seth Jones
Jacob Trouba
Brady Skjei

 

[tyflames]

Our defense, this past season wasn't very physical, and with Sarich and Hannan possible both leaving it could get worse. I like the pick in that sense, but guess well have to see how it all pans out.

 

[Nordberg]

Sounds like his favorite player is N. Kronwall. I can't say I wouldn't be happy with that type of punishing player on the team. Hopefully he can develop the rest of his game. Exciting to see him take on a big role in Windsor next yr.

Haha....

I'm reading this on the toilet....

I'm 6'1" 208..... I'll be 205 by the time I'm done with this post.

Thanks for trading with Darcy again BTW

 

[tyflames]

I actually am begging to really like the pick after reading more, a big physical shutdown defenseman.

“I like looking for that, but I don’t like getting out of position, but I like looking for that big hit,â€

Sieloff’s game is much more than hitting, though. He has been relied on as a leader in the National Team Development Program Under-18 dressing room, and has great shutdown potential.

“Being a shutdown guy playing against top lines, keeping them off the scoreboard and getting in their head,†he said.

 

[Mysterio]

These guys better pan out for the flames. And we better have one hell of a 2013 and 2014 draft !

 

[Volica]

Tough pick. There were skilled guys still in the draft available.
Makes yesterday sting all that much more.

Who were those guys? And how do you know they will end up better then what we picked?

 

[HighLifeMan]

He was the 20th ranked player on Calgary's list.

 

[Sean Monahan]

Good friends with Trouba! So anytime he wants to ditch Winterpeg....

Not too familiar with his game though. If the Flames wanted a hard-hitting, in your face Dman they would've taken Thrower, so obviously they see a better part of his game in him.

Pretty sad we missed another Ryan Callahan in the making in Sissons though. That would've been nice

Was it said in an interview? If this is true than according to our scouts we got 2 first round picks.

Yeah, Weisbrod was on 960 and was saying that this was the guy that he was referring to yesterday (when he stated that they had another guy at 21 that they were going to take if Jankowski was gone)

 

[MarkGio]

A good type of pick. We need some bite to our bluelines.

 

[InfinityIggy]

Weak. Better Dmen were there and this guy is a Wotherspoon clone...not happy with this.
