Enough to warrant fast tracking him to a pro league at 19 years old while taking him from his junior team mid season? Seems a bit dramatic for me. Junior players have missed full seasons and went on to have successful careers. Plus, the USHL isn't even as competitive as the WHL. Bringing him to the AHL would probably hurt his confidence more than anything.
No need to alter your development plan for the kid because he will miss 1 month of games (not 2).
