To those who don’t follow the Ottawa Senators particularly closely this may seem like a rather unassuming signing. A depth signing on defence. After all at the age of 23 Sieloff has just one NHL game to his name. However, this is a name riddled with controversy in the Senators organisation.
The Incident
Acquired from the Flames in the Chiasson trade, Sieloff was given a chance to make the NHL last season. He looked to be a solid shut down defender and at his age still has room to grow. However, during training camp Sieloff laid a dangerous and irresponsible check to the head of Clarke MacArthur during a scrimmage.
