No it's not. Would any other player on the farm be able to sit out and just come back into the line up whenever they want?

It's not special treatment. They've played this long without him, now you're going to bump a guy, send someone to the ECHL who may not deserve it, so you can dress this guy who abandoned everyone in a very public display? Treat him like any other prospect (which he is).

IMO, he's lucky they are even allowing him back. If it wasn't for his potential trade value, I suspect Yzerman would have told him to pound sand and stay home.
