On the surface, it looks like a curious move for the Silvertips since they seemed set in net this year with Heemskerk and Simpson. But maybe they want to bring Siemens in to push Simpson for the backup job....it certainly can't hurt, the conditional nature of the pick probably means they don't have to give up anything unless Siemens proves good enough to beat somebody out for a job.

See Nick Patterson's blog for explanation.
Also Tips will most likely loose Simpson to u-18 championships this winter. and mostly had 15 years olds in camp.
Which U-18 championships will they lose Simpson to?
The tournament after Christmas is an U-17 tournament which Simpson is too old for. And the world U-18's are in the spring and Canada only take players from CHL teams who are out of the playoffs at that point.
