Even an NHL veteran would have issues being in NHL game shape for several weeks after coming back from that. For an OHL player, it would be crazy. He will at least need to play at that level for a while, at which point they won't call him up.

This. Stajan and Raymond are still not at the level they were playing pre-injury (in my opinion). We should be setting Bennett up for success, not failure and that would mean back to the OHL. Full disclosure: I was of the view in training camp that he should have gone back without a 9 game preview.
Still very excited about seeing him in Flames silks, but can certainly wait until next year when we see him at his full potential.
