Cracknell was placed on waivers for the purpose of assignment to AHL Bakersfield on Saturday.
EDGE Analysis
The 35-year-old Cracknell signed a two-way contract with the Oilers in September. He'll serve as experienced veteran depth and could feature on the taxi squad later in the season, but there's not likely to be much room for him in the bottom six.

Cracknell is back from his loan in Denmark and will participate in the Oilers' training camp, Dustin Nielson of TSN 1260 reports.
EDGE Analysis
Cracknell likely doesn't have much to offer the Oilers outside of a physical presence in the bottom six this year. He last played in the NHL in 2018-19, going scoreless in two games with the Ducks. He could be a candidate for the taxi squad in 2020-21.

Cracknell signed a contract with a Danish team on Wednesday, Dustin Nielson of TSN 1260 reports.
EDGE Analysis
Cracknell signed a one-year, two-way contract with the Oilers on Sept. 10, but he will get playing time in Denmark before training camp opens in North America. The 35-year-old Cracknell hasn't played an NHL game since Feb. 5, 2019 when he was a member of the Ducks. He is expected to be organizational forward depth for the Oilers in the 2020-21 campaign.

Cracknell signed a one-year, two-way contract with the Oilers on Thursday.
EDGE Analysis
Cracknell spent the 2019-20 campaign with the Kunlun Red Star of the KHL, notching 10 goals and 14 helpers in 52 games. The 35-year-old forward will spend most, if not all of the 2020-21 season in the minors.

Cracknell agreed to terms on a one-year contract with KHL club Kunlun Red Star.
EDGE Analysis
Cracknell was only able to break into the Ducks lineup for two games last season, in which he notched zero points, three shots and a minus-1 rating while averaging 10:26 of ice time. The veteran center has appeared in 210 NHL games over his nine-year career, amassing 21 goals and 22 helpers over that stretch. This move likely marks the end of Cracknell's NHL career as he figures to close it out overseas.

The Ducks assigned Cracknell to AHL San Diego on Thursday, Eric Stephens of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Cracknell has been a healthy scratch for five of seven games since being recalled on Jan. 22, so this move doesn't come as a surprise. The veteran forward will return to a prominent role with San Diego, where he's already racked up 13 points in 13 appearances this season.

Cracknell was called up from AHL San Diego on Tuesday.
EDGE Analysis
This counts as Cracknell's first look at Anaheim since his trade from the Maple Leafs on Dec. 10. The 33-year-old winger has compiled 43 points (21 goals, 22 assists) through 208 games at the top level, but the fact that he's still seeing AHL action as a 33-year-old tells you all that you need to know about his depressed fantasy prospects.

Cracknell was traded to Anaheim for defenseman Steven Oleksy on Monday.
EDGE Analysis
Neither player has appeared at the NHL level this season, but that could change for Cracknell given his new team's lack of depth at front. Still, the 33-year-old winger's likely to start at the AHL level with his new club.

Cracknell was placed on waivers by Toronto on Sunday.
EDGE Analysis
The 33-year-old journeyman was a depth signing for the Maple Leafs this offseason, signing a one-year deal. He played just five games last year with the Rangers and Stars, failing to register a point while averaging just 7:43 of ice time per game.

Cracknell signed a one-year, $650,000 deal with the Maple Leafs on Sunday.
EDGE Analysis
Cracknell only has 43 points (21 goals, 22 assists) between 208 career contests and six NHL clubs. He's a depth player who shouldn't be on any fantasy rosters in 2018-19.
