I bet a lot depends on the new CBA. If an NHL team can amnesty a player eg. Bouwmeester. Their D doesn't look that good in the NHL and in the AHL they have a few older vets that don't have NHL aspirations anymore. Sieloff is probably capable of going to the AHL next year it's not like Steve McCarthy, Joe Piskula and Zach McKelvie should be higher priorities than Sieloff.
