I'm a bit late to reply.. ;-)

I would certainly think Hamilton is the place for him. Give him a challenge and an opportunity to gain confidence playing professionally here in north america.

I can't wait to see him during camp. Hopefully his last injury is all healed up 100%.

He was never interested, since he could play against men in the KHL or against teens in the Q.

I agree that he'll likely start the season in Hamilton (unless he has an amazing training camp) but from what I've read he's got the talent and work ethic to play in the NHL at some point this season (likely due to injuries). He's also apparently not afraid of physical play, though obviously it remains to be seen how he does in the more physical North American style.
