Since being in the valley, Arizona Coyotes left wing Lawson Crouse has embodied being a “heart and sole” figure involved with the organization.
Crouse was originally drafted 11th overall by the Florida Panthers in the 2015 NHL Draft.
However, Crouse’s tenure as a Panther didn’t last long.
On Aug. 25, 2016, he was flipped to the Coyotes, along with former center Dave Bolland, for a conditional seventh round draft pick in 2017 and a third in 2018.
At the time, it looked as if Arizona were just taking on a dead contract.
Unfortunately, Bolland’s career was pretty much over after suffering a lingering back injury.
