The question is - would playing in the AHL over the SHL be THAT much better for his development that it’s worth burning a year of his ELC? I can’t imagine that it would unless he’s buried in the SHL. Would imagine signing him to an ELC would be an insurance marker for the hawks as to where if he’s not getting the ice time they want for his development they can pull him and stick him in the ahl.
Yeah, I want him to tear up juniors with London then come to us. AHL is dangerous and SEL doesn’t help him with the ice/style adjustment. Someone like him, I want to see him dominate on small ice and gain more confidence.
