Nate Hagemo cut by the Blades.

Former Gopher Nate Hagemo was one of the first players cut by the Florida Everblades today. Hagemo was offered a contract he was not guaranteed playing time, so he is goin to look around the ECHL and see if he can get a more attractive offer. I am hoping he can catch on somewhere and start making a come back.

ROSTER CUTS: The Blades had to submit their opening day roster to the ECHL by 5 p.m. on Wednesday. But Cameron wasn't too worried about potential roster cuts.

So far, he has cut just one player: Defenseman Nate Hagemo, who had been out of the sport for two years due to drug addiction and injuries. Cameron said he'd offered Hagemo a contract, but told the 22-year-old he wouldn't be guaranteed playing time.

Hagemo opted to explore his options with other ECHL teams, but Cameron said that if the former second-round draft pick doesn't get picked up by another team, he could end up back with the Blades playing a limited role.
