OK, so, I know this isn't the kind of question I'd ask, but how many players can a team in the playoffs dress for a game? Is it still just 20, or (like there being no salary cap in the playoffs) is there an increased maximum bench number?

I think you get a few more roster spots in the playoffs... but I'm not positive.

You can only have 18 skaters and 2 goalies, however you can scratch as many as you'd like.

From the start of the season to the trade deadline, you can have a max of 23 players on the active roster.

20 of those players are on the 'dressed' list that participate in the game, leaving you 3 scratches.

After the trade deadline, there is no maximum active roster size, although the dressed list remains the same size.

Well if there's a maximum size in the playoffs, Myers could put us in trouble. But a line of Roy-Gerbe-Ennis would probably balance it out enough that the Sabres wouldn't go over the maximum size.

Ninja midgets....fast, quiet assassins. Well, Roy's not quiet, but you get the picture.
