Confirmed Signing with Link: [EDM] Oilers sign Adam Cracknell (1 year, $700k, two-way)

[Bounces R Way]

Totally forgot this guy existed.

AHL depth?

Exactly.

Was decent for the Canucks and seemed like a very good locker room veteran. Would take him over Beagle's cap hit any day lol

 

[Rowlet]

I'm fine with him as an AHL signing, but I don't know what leverage he had to pull an NHL deal at 35 years old. I guess he had a decent year?

Bakersfield was awful last year so anything to help them out, I guess?

While he likely didn't have any, if you need to get your young AHL bound players used to winning, gotta pay some guys 750k to play there to do so.

I subconsciously read Adam Cracknell as Adam Creighton, and have done so for his entire career.

 

[Michoulicious]

No, we don’t know why either.

Dave Tippett, the next time his team crumbles under pressure:
