Maybe it can be argued that the WHL is better in skill level (I doubt it though, how many WHL players end up playing their prime years of hockey in Europe? More then make the NHL I assume?) but the one major difference is that the second tier Swedish league is Men where as the WHL is children.
Do you think he's going to be challenged and develop well going from defending against men to defending against 16 year old kids? If anything it's a step back for learning how to defend in the pros.
