Jason Spezza, Mark Scheiffle, Mitch Marner.. were all returned to Jr. and it served them well. I'm sure there are tons more that it benefitted.
I see the argument going both ways in terms of development. Going back to London won't hurt Matthew.
It's really tough, it appears he's gelled with the guys.. but that spot could be really useful for cycling some deserving players from the farm.
Mangiapane, Klimchuk, Shinkaruk, Poirier, and Janko all deserve a cup of coffee but Tkachuck isn't in the way of that.
Tough tough choice...
