NHL teams were limited to four minor league call-ups the rest of the regular season, unless an emergency situation dictated the need for more.
And now? NHL clubs still have to decide which eligible players they want to participate in the chase for the Calder Cup, but they won’t have to worry about the paper transactions — sending players down to the A and then recalling them in time to play that night — that used to take up valuable time on the busiest day of the year.
More importantly, the four recalls limitation is gone, which benefits both the parent and farm club.
Nothing ground breaking but definitely does change how Nonis and Poulin can manage their teams
We have a deep farm team and can use it for players such as Holzer, MacIntyre, Colborne, etc if extra depth is needed come playoff time.
I am pretty sure that players would still need to clear waivers such as Hamilton or Komisarek, however please correct me if I am wrong on this.
