The AHL is just NA hockey. That's really all there is to it. It's not a goon league. A goon league was the CHL (no, not that CHL). You softies want guys hanging out in Europe, handled with kid's gloves, getting ill-prepared for NA hockey, well I won't stand for it! Get MBN to GR ASAP. ASP to follow next season!
The guy that injured Mazur was putting up penalty minutes at a higher rate than Probert

Anyway , my point was that let him mature enough to play in NHL and skip AHL. I also believe he could play now in NHL, limited third pair and second pp until
Play next season in Sweden? Not the worst idea but the org seems to prefer AHL as the final polishing spot. All situations 1D is better and he gets those minutes in AHL.
This is his 3rd pro season...
Teuvo Teräväinen considered golf as a appropriate off-season training after 4th pro season and didn't start training properly during the off-season until after his 5th pro season. And i believe Kari Lehtonen didn't train at all until he played in Dallas.

Most of the kids ASP age goes to McDonalds to eat after practice and play video games until 2am. And ASP's body has barely stop maturing, natural talent has carried him so far but there is still lot more to learn.

That sounds like a Finnish problem, more than anything...

Most of the kids ASP's age, aren't leading defensemen in scoring in the SHL.

Also, there is no such thing as natural talent in hockey. Nothing about the sport of hockey is natural. Everything has been worked and practiced to get to where they are now.
