AHL would probably best to start. See how he fares against men and with the coaching staff in Stockton. If he's having a hard go of it, or not enough ice time, then send him to Brandon around Christmas time give or take.

The main thing is that he has time to work on his defensive game. Offensively, he is already good enough to play in the NHL imo, he just needs to get better at reading when to pinch, when to hold back, and where he needs to be generally.
