Right but why make cuts so soon? To me it makes sense to get a bigger sample size and a better look at a given player in preseason games when determining not only how far a player is away from being in the NHL, but what they need to do to get there. Some guys only played like one game, got cut, and were told what to do during the season to get better. But what does one game tell you?
