I believe the 4 recall limit is gone in the new CBA, but it may still be a limit of 4 players who can go between teams. Anyone know the details?

More importantly, the four recalls limitation is gone, which benefits both the parent and farm club.
In the past, if an NHL team needed a player, it would call him up and keep him even if he wasn’t playing so that if it needed him again sometime in the future it wouldn’t have to use two (or more) of its four recalls for the same player. Now a player can be called up and returned as many times as needed. That’s a huge benefit to AHL teams, which may still lose key players at critical junctures, but no longer have to watch those players sitting in an NHL press box when they could be helping out down on the farm.

Edit: It appears that the SI article is wrong. The "Four Recall Rule" no longer applies in the postseason, but that's not a concern for us this year. We're still limited to 4 recalls between now and April 20 (the last Heat game), but can make unlimited recalls thereafter.
