If Adirondack was guaranteed to make the playoffs I would send him down there but if they get swept tonight he will have about 7 regular season games in the Ahl. While if he is up in the Nhl he will probably only play 3 regular season games but the chances of making the playoffs are much higher. So in the end he will play about the same amount of games might as well make them Nhl games so he can be more prepared for next year. Some depth scoring and the spark of a dynamic young forward coming up could be big for this team. Plus his first game will likely be Arizona so it will be an easier transition.
