He's also kind of an anomaly. When other 16 and 17 year olds were waking up and going to high school, he was getting morning skates and gym time.
Makar only outweighs him by about 10 lbs, he can add that quite easily. I think given the options, the best thing for his development is going to be the NHL. A year in the AHL with Brzustewicz, whom he is apparently quite close with, would be perfect and they could both look to graduate to the NHL together in 25/26.

I read somewhere earlier that it's either CHL or NHL for him, with some clause in play preventing the AHL for 18 and 19 year old seasons. Can anyone confirm this?
