He's already played a full season. He doesn't need to play any more than he has already. If he had ever played down there then sure send him down, but no need to send a guy down who's never actually played for the team.
I can't ever recall a team doing this... having a guy up in the NHL all year and then sending him down to the AHL for the playoffs. Nashville or Florida aren't going to send down Jones or Barkov.
