Aug 21, 13 at 4:11 pmThought there was a limit to the numbers of players with AHL exp that could be on the roster? The Sabres have 6-7, one of which played 19 games in the NHL last season. I thought the limit was three and they had to be 1st year players?

Aug 21, 13 at 4:27 pmThe limit is four playing in a game. So they can have more than that but they can’t dress them all. That said there are ALWAYS exceptions granted so… 🙂
