And if he met such high expectation, would that not mean he is NHL ready? And in that case, Flames get a huge reinforcement.
Fact is, he won't play anywhere until he is apsolutely 100% ready. He could just as easily get hurt in Kingston.

They'ev only done injury callups, not callups to see how a kid is doing. ask Troy Wotherspoon how his callup went.
I agree he could get hurt in Kingston, the chances are less, however. And yes, guys are big there, but not as consistently so, and the play is slower, which is the main thing for getting back into rhythm.
Fanin80, there is some footage, but as it's non-contact, it's not that much use IMO, especially on a shoulder injury.
