I think the decision on SM is all about the money. And the extra year on the ELC that is saved by sending him back to junior now - is far more valuable a few years from now when the rest of the team is more competitive.

Its foolhardy to expect an 18 year old to compete at the NHL level for a full season. And this year's edition of the Flames doesn't need his talents.

He's going back to junior.
