Mammoth Cut Joel Dalgarno, Colton Clark

The Colorado Mammoth have begun their cuts, and in doing so, have released some surprising names. Along with cutting draftee Terry Ellis and free agent signee Jake Crans, they have cut veteran Joel Dalgarno and 2012 first round pick Colton Clark.

Clark was a first round pick in 2012 and has widely been a disappointment for the Mammoth. In his two seasons he has a combined nine points and only played in four games in his rookie season of 2013.

Dalgarno is the more surprising cut. The veteran forward scored a career high 42 points last season. Colorado does have one of the deepest offenses in the league, and Athan Iannucci looked in top form in their pre season win over Vancouver, still, Mammoth fans are scratching their heads over this one.

The left side forward is stacked for Colorado still, led by Adam Jones, John Grant Jr, Jamie Shewchuck, Alex Turner and rookie Eli McLaughlin.
