I think you're slightly wrong on that. Used to be if a guy had a one way deal cleared and was recalled you could claim for half price. That didn't go away until the 2013 lockout. Seam Avery was signed by Dallas, waived, than recalled. I think the PA wanted that gone because a player like Wade Redden got stuck in the AHL and was never coming back up because of the recall risk.
It doesn't exist anymore, but it's 10 years type of thing. The waiver draft got axed after the 04/05 lockout.
