It was before my time, but NHL teams regularly had three lines, two defensive parings, and their goalies. What was the reason the NHL raised the roster limits to include the fourth line and third defensive pairing?
For everyone complaining about the league diluting the talent pool through expansion, (which I think is largely bunk) keeping a roster of 15 instead of 20 would have helped quite a bit.
6 teams at 15 = 90 players
6 teams at 20 = 120 players
30 player difference, or the equivalent of two 15 man teams.
