The AHL requires teams to dress 12 skaters who have played 260 games or less AND 1 skater who has played 320 games or less. (Games are regular season in the NHL, AHL, IHL or European leagues).

Thus, in any given game, the team can dress 5 of the "over 320/260" group (Laing, Ivanans, Walter, Kolanos, Meyer & Wilson] and 1 in the "over 260" group [Desbiens & Piskula]. The other 12 skaters have to be under 260.
