If he’s in the AHL he can play more minutes, and get both PP and PK time. That is valuable for his development
Also his NHL results weren’t great last year even if the team’s results were. He faced weak competition with mostly O zone starts and still was outplayed.
So it might actually be better for the team AND the player to have him develop for another full season.
