The Caps' first three centers are set, so if he were to play for the Caps in 2021 he'd have to play wing. On the other hand, he could play a consistent 15-20 minutes a game as a top-6 center in Hershey. So what would be best for his development?
An unrelated thought: So much of NHL drafting evaluation is based on players' development paths as they begin to mature through teenage years. This pandemic interruption may really play havoc with drafting decisions in the next draft or two.

He'd have to play junior this year or the NHL. Not eligible for AHL. The NHL and the CHL have an agreement that players from the CHL at his age have to go back there if there are not with the NHL team. Prospects from Europe are able to play in the AHL at that age if they are not affiliated with a CHL team.
