Blue Jay 22 Posted March 1, 2017 Share Posted March 1, 2017 10/10 Fighter. That's about it, but having another young body to fill the bottom 6 doesn't hurt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vinny in Vancouver Posted March 1, 2017 Share Posted March 1, 2017 Good job by Benning. Helps the Canucks and possibly the Sharks as well. ;-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have you actually watched any Comets games? Despite the low point totals, he's actually playing very well and it's pretty obvious his skill level is a step up from most of the other players on the ice. He just needs to work on his consistency. I suggest watching some of the Comets games, it will reassure you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ossi Vaananen Posted March 1, 2017 Share Posted March 1, 2017 He's fast, kills penalties, plays physical, you can't complain about that. I think if he works out it will shakeup the bottom six beyond this year. Namely Dorsett at 2.5 or the lingering question of resigning Skille. I bet he'll try and prove himself next game with a fight. Hockey is similar to prison that way; you must prove yourself to your new cellmates. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A buddy of mine just went to two games a few weeks ago... said he was horrible Now having said that my friend did not play anything outside of minor hockey... but he is a pretty critical fan and sees play away from the puck. Who knows, i just see he is not scoring anything of value and neither is the rest of the team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suggest watching some of the Comets games, it will reassure you I've watched 4 games and all I saw was the same thing. When he gets the puck, he does what he wants with it. Getting the puck is the problem. He just didn't seem to have the tenacity to do whatever it takes to get the puck. He's no closer to the NHL than he was when he got sent down. A guy with his size and skill set should owning the AHL. Not barely surviving it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cramarossa is a gritty NHL level bottom 6'er. Labate is a younger, gritty, AHL bottom 6'er. Utica also needs players back. We just lost Hansen and Burr. We need some NHL level speed, grit PK ability etc back in the lineup. I'm full aboard the tank train now. Grit could help us win games, and that is not good for tanking. All jokes aside, I agree. It would be nice to give Utica half of their team back, as well it appears that Cram is indeed a capable bottom six guy for us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Provost Posted March 1, 2017 Share Posted March 1, 2017 Good call,. Keep him and Labate around to help protect the skilled kids for the rest of the season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garthsbutcher Posted March 1, 2017 Share Posted March 1, 2017 Good energy 4th line guy who knows his role. Not the worlds best fighter, cant throw his left but is willing and does just fine against his own weight class ect. If DD comes back healthy it would be a nice one two Punch, pun intended.

Not to worry, Crammer will likely help keep us from getting shellacked but he's not going to all of a sudden get us in the playoffs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Add Labate to the mix and 4th line could be a pain in the arse next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
