A guy who used size 56 last year, may ask for a 60 and get a bit more of loose than the others but not that much.

Actually, 58G is the maximum size in a game jersey. A few years back they also ruled that non-goalies could not wear goal-cut jerseys, as the fighters in the 90's were wearing them to avoid getting their arms stuck when someone grabbed their sleeve in a fight. I remember seeing a list of game-worn jerseys for sale from the Springfield Falcons a few years ago, and half the jerseys on the list were goal-cuts.
The guys wearing 56's can go to 58's, but the guys who were already in 58's will be out of luck. Virtually all goalies were already in 58G, so whatever a 58G is now, they are all stuck with it.
