Funny enough, Cracknell just came up in another thread. He's going to the AHL, but it's nice to have him back in the system. I really hope this sets us up for a move where we trade Ott...but we can't be that lucky can we?

Re: Cracknell is back
I didn't think we would be major players at the deadline and really didn't think we needed to be either. But, I'm fully convinced this is part 1 to a much bigger trade. Not that we can have too much depth, but we don't really need another forward in Chicago. This is intended to open up salary for a bigger trade I think.

Re: Cracknell is back
I wondered that too. And what always seems to happen with Armstrong is that his bigger trades always seem to be proceeded by these smaller deals. Call them tremors, if you will. Maybe not, but I'm definitely interested to see what happens.cardsfan04 wrote:I didn't think we would be major players at the deadline and really didn't think we needed to be either.

What I hope DOESN'T happen is that we trade Berglund for defense, bump Ott up to the 3rd line, and Cracks up from the AHL to the 4th line. Anything that results in Ott moving off the 4th line is bad, bad, bad.

Re: Cracknell is back
Yeah, hopefully this means someone making more money can be moved.

Re: Cracknell is back
Yandle? He's been mentioned in here. If the right pieces move, he can be a long term fixture instead of a rental. That means Bouwmeester, maybe, being a piece of a package. Bouwmeester and Berglund can net Yandle and someone else/picks? Yandle's salary is only minimally higher than Bouwmeester's, but I'd rather have Yandle because he can do more on offense and the mystique behind Bouwmeester's durability disappeared this season. Now he's just another 5 mil a year d-man. I don't care that Yandle is minus a zillion this year because hey, it's Arizona.

Re: Cracknell is back
I dunno.
I see this as simply a 4th line depth move for the playoffs in case we run into injury issues.
Sure, this move could lead to something else...but I don't know...we'll see.

Re: Cracknell is back
Cracknell does = Ott at a huge discount. Getting the CPR line back together for the playoffs would be fun, even though it doesn't address my concern of having a more offensively productive line. What it does do is eliminate the need for Ott whom, while he hasn't disappointed as much as I expected he would, is still overpaid for what he gives this team. Cracknell can do Ott's job for a fraction of the price. So I personally hope that this is the lead up to something bigger, and I hope that "something bigger" involves clearing of cap space without plainly destroying the dynamics of the team ahead of April.

Re: Cracknell is back
I think I'm one of the few that likes Ott, but agreed completely with that. We can replace similar production for a lot less than we're paying him.glen a richter wrote:Cracknell does = Ott at a huge discount.

Re: Cracknell is back
Goc is going to be in the middle on that 4th line. His faceoff skills paired with his penalty skill ability is too valuable at this point. However, I don't mind if it's Porter/Cracknell/Reaves swapping out on the other two positions. So CGR or PGR or CGP works for me.glen a richter wrote:Cracknell does = Ott at a huge discount.

Re: Cracknell is back
It's a depth move, for sure-and a good one. Season is a grind, especially in Hitch's system. Could see him getting some of Ott's minutes as the season wears on, which would be wise if we're expecting the latter to help in the playoffs.
