Exactly. The Flames made the choice that was best for his development. They sent him back to college with the intention of him being a leader and the go to guy on the team. That makes much more sense than sending him to the AHL where there is a good chance he would be low on the depth chart and struggled. It makes more sense to give him the best possible chance to improve and succeed and risk losing him than to ensure you keep him and stunt his development. Treliving is trying to make the best out of what he was handed. We all know he was a project so keep him on his projected path.
