Cracknell made his NHL debut at age 25 last year and gave the Blues quite a boost when the club went through a rash of injuries. He had three goals and seven points in 24 games, but most important, didn't look out of place.

Despite playing for the team last season, Cracknell is not guaranteed a roster spot. The former 9th round pick scored 23 goals over two seasons in the AHL and likely will fill a bottom-line role.
