There is More than Meets the Eye Here

This one is going to be long folks so let us get right to it.

The first real cuts were made on Thursday afternoon by the New York Rangers and some of the cuts really left us scratching our heads here leaving us wondering if there was more to the who and why cuts were made. If there was ever an example of outside factors affecting roster decisions then you have to look closer at why the Rangers cut who they did.

Michael Sauer is a good example to start with, now if you want to say his play was a disappointment as why he was cut then fine say that. But when you keep an Ilkka Heikkinen instead it makes you wonder.

So far the reviews on Heikkinen have been mixed as some have said he struggled a lot against the Devil's AHL team and others said it is a matter of adjustment.
