AHL or NHL. If you have the skill, play at the highest level. He will not be safe from the physicality or the rigors of a tough schedule in the Ahl. In fact, I would say it is far worse in the minors.

I can agree with that. I suppose my thinking is that they might be a bit more willing to shelter him throughout the season in the minors while attempting to address his weight. I understand that's not necessarily a guarantee however. It's still the immediate issue and there will be a level of concern in either league until he's added that physical resistance and strength.
