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.
Yes, Neil was a great hitter. I still shudder at some of his hits. So, it seems that Kramer has only a slim chance of making it to the NHL as a policeman enforcer at this time.
I don't see any heavy weight policeman enforcer on the roster at this time. Neil is nearing the end of his career and I hope he does not get seriously hurt as his career winds down. I have been a fan of him and still am a fan. But retirement time is approaching for him.
