Crouse is a real solid NHL player that would be good in a playoff setting. Turcotte is an underwhelming AHL player.

Arizona may have no interest.

You forgot the part where there's a 5 year difference and that Turcotte is outperforming Crouse's AHL season at the same age even with the injuries and lack of opportunity.

But there are similiarities in the gritty games and the formerly-high-pick that fell out of favor with most.

Also, Crouse had 13 points last year. I know his game isn't in raw production; neither is Turcotte's. There's nothing that would suggest zero interest and I'd like to think a 23 year old Turcotte could do at least that.

I am glad the Coyotes have no interest.
Now you have to go and tell all the other people who open threads on a daily base, asking for Turcotte

ARI should try to sign him to the Kotkaniemi-type deal — 8 years at 5M or less would be a huge win for ARI.

Crouse, Keller, Schmaltz, Clayton, Guenther, Maccelli, and whatever else they currently have in their system (Jenik, etc?). That’s the start of a solid core that’s going to have a heck of a lot more prospects added to it that you can win with. Crouse is a very unique player and I wouldn’t move him unless the overpayment was ridiculous.
