So, he is one of the "keys" to Kaneki's memories because Kaneki thinks he killed him. So seeing him alive would make him unblock him memories. Kind of like a dike. The side with all the water are the memories and the dry part is Sasaki. The dike itself is the guilt he feels over killing Amon. Meeting him and realizing he is alive would destroy the dike and Kaneki will rercover his memories.

Now, I wonder what about Hide. Maybe he knows he didn't kill him, instead he either ate a bit of his arm or Hide brought him some meat. He doesn't remember because of his temporary state of insanity but subconsciously he knows. Or it could be that Hide is yet another dike ,which means that it will be even longer until we see Kaneki's memories come back.
