He has 38 games NHL experience and a rookie. You put him where his play belongs. Right now, it's the AHL with the other guys that are still learning.
I think I've said this before, if the AHL is demoralizing to him then he's not cut out to be an NHL player. You gotta be a little tougher then that. I could understand if he was established in his NHL career (several years playing in the NHL) and sent down, but he's a kid, he's a rookie, and he barely has his feet wet in the NHL. He is not above playing in the AHL. If he thinks so, he needs to get his head on straight.
