A year in the AHL wouldn't hurt because he'd get used to playing 70+ games a year.
Yes, he has played well enough to make the team, but you have to be careful when deciding to dump someone like Nodl for him. They can lose Nodl on waivers. If Read proves not to be ready in the end then you no longer have Nodl to replace him. Read has played well enough to make the team, but that unfortunately doesn't mean he can handle a full season.
