I think he has a decent shot right now so why give him a few years to develop when he can develop even faster in the NHL. Jordan has always played against people older than him his whole life and is still the best player when that happens. Even Dave Gagner said he is NHL ready.
If he has a hell of a training camp and makes the team im going to be so stoked, you put out the best team possible, period.
With Dan Murphy saying they are looking to sign him makes me wonder if the canucks managment think he will make the team this year, Murph is a pretty reliable source so it has to have a little bit of truth in it and signing him to play in the WHL or in the AHL makes no sense at all.
