Bold strategy.

The thought process is it sends a message to the forwards on this team that their roster spot is not guaranteed, that you better produce or there are a number of young, capable guys chomping at the bit to take your spot. At the same time, calling up one or more of these guys sends a positive message to current and future prospects that hard work and results actually get rewarded.
