Sometimes a prospect doesn't light up the AHL, but can still find a niche at the NHL level.
I like his energy as 4th line left wing. Pretty good skater. Hits, fights and has a high compete level. Rather see him in the lineup than Etem.
It's still early. Every other player who's played this role for us this year has faded into non-physical mediocrity over time. We'll see if Crammer can keep it up.I'm going to eat some crow, he's been a really effective player for us. A good 4th liner. I never thought he would amount to anything more than a decent AHLer.

He's been the pest/spark plug this team has needed for a while. Basically what Garbutt was expected to be
I like him and Noesen on the 4th line, hopefully Randy makes an effort to develop and play a 4th line. Would like someone better than Shaw or Boll on the other wing, ideally a guy with some speed who can get in on the forecheck
I forgot about Thompson but that is a very serious injury, but replacing Boll with him would definitely be an upgrade and Thompson plays the type of game Randy likes so he'd probably spread the ice time around a little moreIt's too bad Kerdiles injury issues. Would be a good fit I think. Thompson will be a big boost.
