I just don't see what a year in Junior will help him with? Pushing around kids smaller than him is going to get him more ready for the NHL?
Let him stay, stop benching him (theres other players that are playing worse than him) and let him grow into his game in the big leagues, not against kids where he's only going to develop bad habits that get him comfortable doing things that don't work in the NHL like we saw with Sam Bennett before his recent resurgence.
Plus he's been fine. No one can say hes hurting the team at all and we have no better alternatives.
