No harm for Saint John taking him, but he'll almost-certainly have every opportunity to stick in the AHL.

As long as he doesn't play 10 NHL games, his contract will slide either way... According to CapFriendly, his contract already slid this season, so it won't be able to slide again next year. In that case, they really have no incentive to send him to juniors unless he really struggles in the AHL.
