Couldn't comment on the but seasoning, but if he outplays everyone for a spot on the roster I don't see why he couldn't learn things on the fly with the NHL club.
He'll probably be competing with Shinkaruk, Poirier, Jankowski, Klimchuk & Mangiapane for a roster spot. If he outplays all those guys then he deserves to stick with the Flames. If he doesn't then I don't see much harm in him going back to London. He's only had one year in the OHL, right? Despite dominating the league as a rookie he probably still has a few things he could learn there should he end up not making the final cut.
