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...

I think there are more examples of players who were sent down and did not benefit.
Ryan Strome, Michael Dal Colle, Reinhart, Hayden Fleury, Drouin, Nurse, Dumba, Pouliot, even Huberdeau.
Most of these guys were very high picks, yet did not develop into elite talents.
