I don't understand your thinking on Crouse. He never was a scoring machine in junior and always brought a heavy game. I thought he progressed very nicely last year, as did most of the kids.
It just seemed to me over the course of last year that the idea germinated about Crouse being some third- or fourth-line-ceiling grinder, when the guy (to me, anyway) has Hanzal-style upside and a lot of leadership ability.
