Seems perfectly reasonable to make numbers. Holding out hope his offensive game takes a step in the next year or two.
Kesselring, Kampfer, Crotty and Koch currently top 4 in Tucson.
Szuber staying in Germany one more year.
Langlois staying in junior one more year.
Morden is going to Harvard and will almost certainly never sign with the Coyotes.
Simashev, Goldsmith, Kipkie all still 1+ year away.
Given how little competition there is for AHL slots, I'd be more surprised if we hadn't offered Crotty an extension.
