I think Freakonomics talks about that phenomenon. Great little market inefficiency.

Dunn played one game for Binghamton late last season, too little too judge although I heard a reference labeled him as a "meathead" from the locker room, lol..
And as the earlier comment about Kramer being a 'heavyweight', far from it..

NHL players are disproportionately born in earlier months (January-March).

Dunn was voted the most hated player in the Q in a poll of players, coaches and GMs.
I'm far too lazy to look up where I found that.
Regardless, that's awesome. Hope he doesn't turn out like Max Laperierre though. God, do I ever hate that guy! haha

Heard that too, and in the other minor leagues he was in, the Teams got rid of him. Apparently big trouble!
Oh well, time will tell!

Hopefully Dunn plays his way onto the Team Canada radar. Groulx is obviously familiar with him and TC usually brings a pest type of player.

I don't like the sounds of this. Sounds like another Avery who lacks judgement as to what are acceptable behaviours. I was initially pleased with his selection but these reports are very concerning.

This is the first I've heard of this. Anyone have any confirmation or follow-up on it?

I don't see any character issues in him at all, We all know the sens wan't to stay away from that kind of stuff, if it were true Dunn wouldn't be drafted let alone signing a pro contract.
I know for a fact that he does have character issue, as I am good friend with some of his friends and it well known by anyone who grew up in the "hockey entourage" in Outaouais that character was always his problem. It's probaby the reason why he was traded out of Gatineau, as he and Reway were not getting along with Groulx.

It was all over the Gatineau sports radio shows after the signing. Some of my QC friends called me and gave their condolences.....
I have not seen him fight yet. I will take a look on You tube. However, I doubt he would do well against the heavyweights with their greater height, reach and strength. But there have been exceptions in the past, even though they had trouble with the major heavyweights, examples: Tie Domi, Tiger Williams.

Jam is one thing; crazy is crazy! No thanks.
I would like to see someone like Bob Probert, who could be the policeman when required while also having some hockey skills.
I checked out some of Kramer's fights on You Tube. He does not back down, tended to hold his own, but did not dominate any of the fights I saw. So, I see him as a potential policeman but I don't think he is big enough to take on the heavy weights in the NHL. In some ways he reminds me of Chris Neil. However, I did not observe his hockey skills, so my knowledge is very limited.
Kramer is a lot like Barnaby imo. He isn't a great fighter, but he's about as tough as they come. If you got points for getting punched in the face, Kramer would = Crosby haha.
I don't think he has the skills to make it in the new NHL. He won't hurt you out there, but unlike Neil, he doesn't do anything else well enough. Neil had a fair amount of skill in his prime, and is / was one of, if not the best hitter in the league.

"Character" is a very broad term. What are we talking about here?
Is the guy a jerk? Is he just lazy? Party too much? Too big of an ego?
Need to narrow it down a bit. Some character issues can be addressed and fixed by management, some can not.
