So why not have him in Abby where he will have the full resources of the team that he will be playing for, learning the systems, building chemistry with teammates, spending time with the twins, getting significant practice time etc.

 

I really don't see the point of keeping him in Sweden

Doesn't his contract slide a year if he's in Sweden? 

 

Just bring him over next year. He will still be plenty young and moldable. Just let him get the Tocket message of "have a good summer" and raise him a "if your in the pressbox, spend more time in the gym and at practice and have a good year that way too!", get him eating right, and all of next year is prep for starting in the AHL next year.

 

That wouldn't be a terrible plan.

I don't care about the contract.  Klim is a year ahead in his development because he came over as a 19 year old.  That's what they should be doing with every Euro capable of playing at that level.
