Because he can make $500k playing in Europe compared to playing in the CHL or NCAA while not hurting his draft status and play against full grown men to better his development.
He missed the cutoff for last year's draft by 2 days. He would likely making a million + in the NHL this season if he was born 2 days earlier.
