Playing against OHL players does not a NHL player make. If he was struggling physically in the NHL because he was to small or not mature enough, sure, there is a valid reason to send him down. But if its adjusting to the speed, timing, quality of players, going to the OHL just puts him against inferiors players and you don't become a better player by doing that.
