Its not the Kings' decision though. Forbort can do whatever he thinks is best for himself. I am sure the Kings will try and influence it to what they think is best, but ultimately its Forbort's call. I personally don't think it is worth it to jump early and spend a long time in the AHL. But each player is different and has his own needs and goals. I can't imagine how difficult the decision must be. What with college people pulling for him to stay in college, Kings trying to get him signed for any number of reasons (they think he'll develop better in their system, they are afraid of losing him after he graduates, etc.), other NHL sources telling him other stuff, family pressures and friends too plus ex Sioux players saying their stuff. I wish the best for everyone who is trying to make that decision this year.
