The Las Vegas Wranglers released four players Monday, including ECHL All-Star center Justin Taylor.
Taylor notched 30 points in 36 regular season games with the Wranglers last season and earned a trip to the 2009 ECHL All-Star game. He also added two goals and four assists in 15 Kelly Cup playoff games last year.
Along with Taylor, the Wranglers cut forwards John Morea, Gabriel Andre and Matt Whitehead.
Andre and Whitehead are now both unrestricted free agents.
Opening day rosters are due to the ECHL at noon Wednesday.
The Wranglers start the season at home against Utah at 7 p.m. Friday.

Hey Steve...hello again from Alaska. Good to see the Wranglers roster is coming together and I look forward to seeing how the Aces match up next week. Nothing better than getting a couple of good teams together for an early season series. Best of luck to you guys on opening weekend against Utah and we'll be checking in throughout the season. Keep up the good work.
This move actually surprises me a bit, as Taylor was an offensive contributor...Perhaps this is Moug's swing towards a more defensive savvy squad...
It had nothing to do with Taylor's performance. Moug announced in the post game interview in the Wrangler room that Taylor failed his physical after hurting his back in the offseason. Taylor never took the ice this preseason.
you are a wise one lvwranglersfan
