12th year right wing Adam Cracknell(28) started the season on the opening night roster of Dallas Stars with a brand new one-way deal after playing a career high 69 NHL games scoring 10 goals and 6 assists for 16 points with a +9 rating on a non-playoff team.
A couple of days later he was waived for reassignment to affiliate Texas Stars but failed to make it as New York Rangers decided to step in a pick up his cap friendly contract.
The fairly large 6’2″ 218 lbs. power forward lasted only four games before being waived again and sent to farm club Hartford Wolf Pack.
Almost oddly he has yet to mark the score sheet but once that gets established it should continue.
The 32-year old is a veteran of 208 games in the big league grabbing 21 goals and 22 assists with a +4 and 424 AHL games getting 97 goals and 123 assists with a +15.
Seems like that might be the grab on the former Calgary Flames‘ 9th round pick (#279 overall) he’s definitely very accountable when he’s out there.
He spent his first three years playing in their system but was probably first regarded when he signed with St. Louis Blues and spent four pivotal seasons.
Tough to say what’s next but we’re having fun watching him play in the Northeast.
