It's exactly what Nashville did with Saros, and he doesn't seem to have been hurt by the experience.
In 2016-17, Saros played 21 games in the NHL and 16 in the AHL. The following season, he played 26 in the NHL and 9 in the AHL. Between those two seasons, he was recalled from the AHL 10 times (not counting a deadline paper transaction). That was with the Predators' AHL affiliate 500 miles away in Milwaukee, not sharing the same building.
