As the person who posted the SI article, I guess it's my responsibility to confirm that Renny's information seems correct (his language is right out of the MOU). Sports Illustrared is wrong. The change to the recall rule only affects teams in the postseason, so that's obviously not going to be a concern for us this season. We have 1 more recall available before the Heat's final game on April 20, and then will have unlimited recalls thereafter.

Edit: For what it's worth (probably not much), the guy who wrote the SI article sticks by it and says that he confirmed with an AHL GM that the 4 recall rule is gone. Based on the wording of the MoU and the previous CBA, that is not true, but I guess it's possible that the final CBA language is different.
