In a surprise early morning move yesterday, the Arizona Coyotes acquired Dave Bolland and Lawson Crouse from the Florida Panthers in exchange for two draft picks in 2017 and 2018. With this move the Coyotes have acquired a shiny new prospect, who seems likely to make the team in the next few years.
So who is Lawson Crouse? What does he bring to the Arizona Coyotes? And why is he worth two draft picks and David Bolland's contract?
The former 11th overall pick from the 2015 Draft, Crouse had a solid season last year as assistant captain of the Kingston Frontenacs.
