Zayne is at his best when he top dog playing heavy minutes. For this reason, I wouldn't be opposed to sending him back to Junior, letting his go on a Memorial Cup run, and then starting him on the Wranglers next season.
You lose out on some of the technical development he'd get playing in the NHL this year, but you bring along his mental game slowly so that he is playing 25 minutes a night by the end of next season.
