By the time that all happens, Kingston's season will probably be over.
Let's say he's activated next Wednesday to maximize the number of games he can play in the AHL (Adirondack has 6 games between February 27 and March 10), then returns to Calgary once his two weeks are up. Then, he starts his 9 games on March 13 against the Leafs. Game 9 would be March 29 in Nashville (if they play him for nine straight games).
Kingston plays their final regular season game on March 22, so they could be close to elimination in the playoffs by the time his 9 games are done.
That's one reason I think he'll be sent back to Kingston directly, without any AHL or NHL games. Sending him back now will let him get re-adjusted to the OHL and life in Kingston with a few weeks left in the season so he can be ready to help them for the playoffs.
