He did apparently struggle with his Swedish team last year and the AHL is probably a step up in calibre, so the WHL might be a better way to get back to basics and get his confidence up. Plus hanging out with people his own age might be a better way to get acclimatized to North America.
Is it possible to put him in either the AHL or WHL for a month or so, see how he does, and then reassign him based on that if necessary?
