It's quite literally not cap circumvention; apparently, it's an actual rule.

Because the Leafs are so tight to the cap ceiling, they do not have the space to immediately recall an AHL goaltender (Michael Hutchinson) until Sunday.
Cap rules state that a team must play short at a position — in this case, goaltender, an important one — for one game before getting the necessary relief to make a recall.
