Claimed off Waivers: Cramarossa to VAN

[Vipers31]

Also agree about Boll and Shaw... I don't get Murray anymore.

This isn't Murray, this is Carlyle. (Well, at least 90-10.) Carlyle is the one who requires having a dedicated enforcer around, Murray had no need for that with Boudreau. Carlyle also is the one who keeps giving Shaw a lot of minutes. Murray waiving a guy Carlyle trusts (for whatever reason) over someone he doesn't as much would be highly problematic, even if I'd also prefer Crammer over Boll/Shaw.

That's what bugs me when people connect the dots between the Maroon trade and the signing of Boll. It's absolutely fair to hate trading Maroon and the later signing of Boll. It isn't fair to pretend that Murray traded Maroon with the expectation of landing Boll(or someone of that ilk) later. The reality is, Maroon was traded because he showed up out of shape for the season, and Boll was signed to appease our new coach.

Yeah, that's been annoying the hell out of me, as well. If Maroon had not been out of shape, uninspired and generally useless for us last year, he would not have been shipped out, or at least created a decent market for himself.

Solid player who does everything. Horrible move to waive him over a dime a dozen player like Logan Shaw

That's on Carlyle. If a coach prefers Boll and Shaw to Cramarossa, he's going to waive Cramarossa, it's that simple.

 

[Nordic*]

They want Boll on the team for the expansion draft.

Is my guess.

 

[Boom Boom Apathy]

The more I think about it, the more I wonder if Carolina puts a claim on him. With Stalberg traded, McGinn injured, and likely more moves coming, they could slide him right onto the 4th line for the rest of the year.

VAN claims Cramarossa

 

[caley]

Canucks claim Joseph Cramarossa

 

[Gstank]

Probably means Skille is getting traded

 

[Seatoo]

Uhhh who?

 

[thesensguy]

No surprise here, good bottom 6 er

 

[Arthuros]

This is your fault, Murray.

 

[Unholy]

Damnit.. Meanwhile the Ducks still have ****ing Boll

 

[WhatTheDuck]

Stupid move Murray, handed an effective energy line player to a divisional team when you had two useless forwards on the roster to waive instead. Enjoy him Canucks fans, Crammer works his ass off, has spirited fights and has been our best 4th liner for the majority of the season.

 

[Gstank]

Probably means someone is getting traded, or Baertschi is going to be out long term

 

[Exit Dose]

I hope that this was to facilitate a move.

More likely even more players have the mumps

 

[uncleben]

This makes a lot of sense for VAN.

Kinda sucks for ANA, not that he's irreplaceable, but still a nuisance.

 

[snowave]

hope this means a trade from ANA... otherwise, total ass move by BM.

 

[WhatTheDuck]

I hope that this was to facilitate a move.

I hope that as well, but even still I think we had less effective players to waive. Not happy about this.

Vancouver was calling up guys to replace callups who were sick or injured.
They needed fresh meat.

 

[TruGr1t]

Canucks needed to re-stock after the Hansen/Burrows trades. A guy that plays tough was at the top of the list.

 

[tomd]

I'm sure it came as no surprise to the Ducks brass that Cramarossa got claimed which means they must not be as high on him as many fans are. Chris Wagner part II.

Roster limits are gone after the deadline, losing Hansen and Burrows clears up the necessary salary, and currently the Canucks need extra bodies due to sickness/injury. This is a pure add to the team for the Canucks.
