Stepan to Hartford Not Juniors?

The Minnesota Hockey Journal, which was the first to break the Derek Stepan signing yesterday, now tweets that Stepan will head to Harford not Major Juniors, as reported by Larry Brooks, if he doesn't make the Rangers opening night roster...

Derek Stepan will develop under the tutelage of Ken Gernander in Hartford not go to Major Juniors if he does not crack NYR lineup.less than a minute ago via Seesmic Web

...the MHJ was correct on the signing no reason to stop believing them now.

...this is great news as Stepan can now be brought up during the season if needed.

I wondered about that... It makes no sense for him to go to juniors. Turn pro or stay in school.
