Cramarossa was selected in the 3rd round of the 2011 NHL Entry Draft
He has been effective in his time with the Ducks this season as a depth forward with grit, but the numbers game forced him onto waivers.This move is likely just to ensure the Canucks have enough options to close out the season while providing some speed and toughness in the bottom 6.
Cramarossa is a pending RFA.
The move pushes the Canucks to 46 contracts of their 50 contract limit.
