My understanding of the emergency call up rule from the CHL (OHL, WHL and QMJHL) is that the player can only be called up to the NHL team. They would be permitted to play with the AHL team only after their own clubs season has ended.
To get bodies to play for the Heat, we will need to sign Free Agents from the ECHL or other teams in which the player is considered a Free Agent (i.e. not drafted by an NHL team, under contract to an NHL team or under a SPC/PTO/ATO from an AHL team)
