What if he makes the Team next year?
This all might be based on contract situation.
He would be ineligible if he signs a KHL contract unless it has an out clause to return to the NHL training camp during a KHL season.
He would need Leafs management permission to play in Europe and sign a contract since he is under contract to Leafs for 2020-21, and would be playing for the Marlies if not the Leafs, unless loaned to a KHL team with permission.
If he is returning home to play against Leafs authorization it might mean his NHL dream is over for now.
