I think if they wanted him back in junior, he would have already been sent back.
Just guessing, but maybe they don't want to use contract slot for him and are offering him an AHL deal for the year. Or maybe they are offering him a 2-way AHL/ECHL deal and he is holding out for a 1-way AHL or 2-way NHL/AHL deal.
I suspect something gets signed soon though.
