On 32 Thoughts, Elliotte Friedman said an Exec from an Eastern Conference NHL team that could "face Tampa in the playoffs" offered to bet Friedman that Lawson Crouse would end up playing for the Tampa Bay Lightning this season.
Crouse is not a household name, but we LOVE him in Arizona. He's a 24 year old, former 11th overall pick of the Florida Panthers.
-In his last 82 NHL games he's had 13g 17a 30pts 242 hits and 5 fighting majors.
-In THIS season his per 82 game pace is 23g, 21a, 44pts, 223 hits, and 4 fighting majors.
Other Notes:
- He's 6'4 225lbs and skates very well. He's seen as a leader, and a protector (his nickname is "The Sheriff"). He plays a power game, and really utilizes his size physically.
- He's a responsible three-zone player and plays regularly on the the PK (he's first among ALL Coyotes forwards in short-handed minutes played - 4th in PP mins), and is deployed in all-three zones.
- He's got the 2nd best +/- of any Coyotes forward with at least 20gp and at least 10min/gp.
