Figured this was likely to happen. I think he can go for a max of two weeks.
Makes a lot of sense. Practice speed isn't necessarily game speed processing. I think the conditioning stint would give the Jets the ability to bring him back for the home game in St. Louis, followed by a road trip to Buffalo and Chicago, which isn't a trial by fire, and gets him back up to speed.

Really interested to see if he gets the game action with Salomonsson and what the impact is offensively for some of the stars who haven't got going yet.

Who gets waived if Ville the Kid is on the roster?
My guess would be Coghlan. Stanley is 4-5 days from skating according to Arniel, but he is travelling on the road trip. Likely comes off IR at that point when Heinola also does. But that's somewhere in the vicinity of 5-7 games away and a lot can change between now and then.

Yeah I don't think the timing is by accident they knew what they were doing, sending him down now gets him 4 games plus a week in-between to do additional strength and conditioning work away from the team. I'm really excited to see what he can bring and I think Arniel will give him a 5-10 game runway to show them what he can do at the NHL level.
