Prospect development

So I have a guy at 1.5 stars with 2.5 potential named Vladislav Kamenev. My team is pretty bad so he is on the roster (especially after some injuries) with 9 points in 35 games, 5 or so of those points came in his first 10 games. So obviously he has cooled down a bit and that production isn't exactly staggering. With my thin lineup, he has been able to play on the 2nd line with Kerfoot and Compher for a while for development purposes, but with Rantanen returning from Injury I no longer have room for him up in the top 6. He has outproduced almost all of my bottom 6 so it would hurt to send him down even with his measly 9 points in 35 games. However with him now centering the 4th line, it may be the right decision. Thoughts?

A 1.5 guy isn't going to get outplayed every night, but if you can afford to send him down, I probably would, especially if he's going to get a bigger role with your minor league team.
