I appreciate that view, but in my seven seasons of watching AHL hockey in Hartford I learned that despite that more traditional approach to development...sometimes players simply show that there is little left for them to learn at that level and need to be challenged in order to reach their full potential.
I just feel Wilson is that type of player and needs top level competition to take the next step in his development. In every viewing I've had of Wilson this summer he has exuded confidence. Unless that confidence disappears...I think his time in the AHL is over.
