Nope. The CBA does not allow teams to loan players after the deadline unless they have been recalled after the deadline from the AHL team or certain injury conditions
They needed to waive Rinaldo and sent him down before the deadline then recalled him for him to be eligible to be assigned to the AHL again this season.
The only players currently on the NHL roster that are eligible to be sent down are Kylington and Dube because the Flames papered them.
It is also the reason they traded Davidson. He was no longer eligible to be sent down so they traded him to SJ where he had more of a chance to play instead of waiting in the press box for 3 to 4 more injuries to the D.
