ill take that challenge

Okay lets see it

Only 20 roster spots? That's not a full team.

Going to need to dress at least 22 players every night.

Try again.

LOL are you serious? Do you watch hockey? You can only dress 20 players a night and Im not going to make a team with healthy Scratches thank you very much, So How about you take your innacurate comments elsewhere.

What? I don't even know where to start.

You can dress as many players as you want as long as you are under the cap. Scratches take the ice, the pre-game skate and are dressed all the way until the puck drops.

Why?

What if someone gets injured during the warm up? Or gets injured during a long road trip during a back-to-back game situation. Think that farm call-upis going to be 100% at a moments notice flying 6 hours across North America?

You need at least one extra player and that extra player has to fit under the cap.

All teams carry at least 21 players under the cap. Most 22 or 23.

Once the puck drops, yes, 20 man roster. But up until then you need the insurance of "healthy scratches".
