I think you could have easily kept him these next three games, then if you wanted to maintain waiver flexibility and have a different look for the longer and tougher road trip you send him down on the 22nd after the Dallas game.
I get not wanting him in the press box long term but I think you could have had him and Morton up for the next 3 games, and then flip one of them out for Hunt if you wanted a different body for the longer road trip.
Sending him down after 2 games is not really fair to the player IMO.

That he was swapped out for other guys after 2 games screams "there, we did it. We called him up", instead of actually using it to see how Kerins can give them a different look up front and giving it enough time to see whether it can go somewhere.
I think those top lines were working better than they were prior.
Morton is made for a totally different role than Kerins. So you're reverting back to square one in the top six and now probably pushing Zary out of his natural position in favor of Morton. And cool, let's see where that goes. But it just feels like they're taking a step forward and a step back.
No progression towards anything. Just dabbling, dabbling, dabbling. Or myself and others in the same camp are just being impatient and more permanent changes/graduations are coming. I hope so.
