You can't make the decision based on burning or not burning a year on his ELC, it has to come down to what is better for his development.
He is kind of in between for me in that he isn't looked out of place, but really hasn't forced the teams hand either. He isn't afraid to go into the dirty areas and overall I have liked his positioning, so I am wondering what sending him back to junior would accomplish? If he was far behind the play, looked scared of contact, or was always out of position it would be a no-brainer to send him back.
