The thing with an emergency recall is that you have to be able to justify WHY it's an emergency to the NHL.
For example, last season they justified emergency recalling Sven because Feaster said they can't deplete the farm any more and still stay competitive (especially since at one point they had Byron, Kolanos, Horak, Brodie, Irving, Bouma, etc.). The NHL found that to be a sufficient reason and they allowed it.
In this case, there's no way Feaster can make a case from bringing in Brossoit. Losing Danny, you still have another ridiculously good goaltender behind him in Brust.
Feaster made the right choice and the only choice in the short timeframe he had to get a backup to Columbus.
