Came to say this ^.
Also, meeting with the coaches and GM is huge. "We see what you're doing down there, keep it up, you'll get your chance"
When other guys are getting call-ups and you're not, it would start to get to you. Being called up for a week would be a huge boost for him.
A week of no games in the middle of the season will probably rejuvenate him as well.
He'll be playing here soon enough.
