Cracknell came up without a point once again in the Stars' loss to the Oilers on Friday.
EDGE Analysis
After starting the season with two goals and an assist in three games, Cracknell hasn't posted a point in 12 games. To boot, he's not contributing much else. In those contests, he has just 10 shots, including a four-game stretch without any shots. He'll have to put together a better stretch before he should be considered for your roster.

Cracknell recorded a goal and an assist in Thursday's season-opening win over the Ducks.
EDGE Analysis
Cracknell was surprisingly effective despite being the only player on his team to skate less than 10 minutes in the contest with 9:59 of ice time. The 31-year-old veteran has never exceeded 10 points in a season, so don't expect a repeat of this performance any time soon.

Cracknell signed a one-year, two-way contract with the Stars on Sunday, Mark Stepneski of the Stars Official Website reports.
EDGE Analysis
The terms of the deal have yet to be released, but Cracknell will head to Dallas for his seventh season in the league. Cracknell saw time with both the Oilers and Canucks during his 2015-16 campaign, but produced a total of just five goals and five assists over 52 games. He'll likely struggle to post fantasy worthy numbers with the Stars as well, but he should be a veteran depth option for the team.

Cracknell was claimed off waivers by the Oilers from the Canucks on Monday, Stephen Whyno of the Associated Press reports.
EDGE Analysis
The veteran center has provided precious little for fantasy owners in his career, although for what it's worth, he does own career highs in goals (five) and points (10) this year. Cracknell and Adam Pardy join the Oilers as free acquisitions on the day of the trade deadline, with both unexciting players highly likely to slot into depth roles.

Cracknell dished out a pair of assists in Monday's win over the Sabres.
EDGE Analysis
Cracknell had just one point since the end of October coming into Monday, but had a surprisingly productive outing for his first multi-point effort of the year. The fourth line center likely won't have those kind of games too often, though.

Cracknell scored his third goal of the season in Monday's loss to the Canadiens.
EDGE Analysis
Cracknell had a nice stretch in the beginning of the season, scoring in two of the team's opening four games and adding an assist a few games after that, but the 30-year-old had been held off the scoresheet in five straight coming into Monday's contest. That sort of cold spell is more in line with what should be expected out of the fourth line center, who has never eclipsed seven points in his five year career.

Cracknell scored in his second straight game Tuesday against the Kings.
EDGE Analysis
Cracknell potted what would prove to be the game-winning goal for the Canucks in a 3-0 shutout win. He took a pass from Brandon Prust and snapped a one-timer that just crossed the goal line. There is no reason to believe Cracknell, who is Vancouver's fourth-line center, will keep up this scoring pace, though it may make sense to keep an eye on him for daily formats.

Cracknell tallied a goal in Monday's win over the Ducks.
EDGE Analysis
It was just the seventh goal, and first in three seasons, of Cracknell's career, but it was a game-tying goal that eventually sent the contest into overtime. The fourth-line center doesn't figure to work his way onto the scoresheet often though, serving more as organizational depth.

Cracknell has made the Canucks' final roster and will serve as the fourth-line center, The Province reports.
EDGE Analysis
A 30-year-old veteran who's never really caught on as a full-timer in the NHL, Cracknell owns 17 points in 82 career games and shouldn't bring much from a fantasy standpoint while he's skating on Vancouver's fourth line.

Cracknell signed a one-year, two-way contract with the Canucks on Tuesday.
EDGE Analysis
Mostly due to the Blue Jackets' array of injuries last season, Cracknell saw 17 games at the NHL level, producing no goals and one assist. He'll function as an organizational depth piece for the Canucks, but will once again require several players to go down before skating in the NHL. Even if that materializes, he'd likely be limited to a bottom-six role with limited ice time.
