Imo, he has better chemistry with established NHLers than the recent rookie tournament.
I'll be stoked if he makes it to the NHL this year, but won't be angry if he doesn't.

Minutes can be managed and he can be better protected in the NHL. Why bother? He's shown he's good enough to skate with the big boys at WC and his debut.
