Proposal: Lawson Crouse to TB (PHI/TB)

[Hockeyfan4453]

Love his size, speed, and aggression. Would fit in perfectly as a 3rd liner on Tampa and would provide toughness and untapped potential/skill that team needs. He's one of the most underrated and under-appreciated players in the league imo. On a team that is having a historically bad start to season, his game really impresses me. He can play a role similar to what Barclay Goodrow played for Tampa during our back-to-back runs. If Kucherov comes back healthy, forwards would be:

Palat-Point-Kucherov
Killorn-Cirelli-Stamkos
Joseph-Colton-Crouse
Maroon-Bellemare-Perry

What gets this done for Tampa?

First Crouse plays for Arizona not Philly and while he would be a great add we just don't have the cap for it. Arizona isn't going to use a retention spot on him so would need a 3rd team because even if we added Rutta that's not enough cap going back. So Crouse is already going to be costly to acquire and now you are adding a 3rd team who will need assets so it just doesn't seem likely. He's also a RFA with arbitration rights so he could cost too much to retain and would definitely mean we aren't bringing back Palat. Good player and would be good to have just not feasible in season.

You're a Philly fan... how could you possibly think Crouse plays for you?

 

[Legend123]

the reference to a historically bad team is obv Arizona. Why you guys so obsessed over a typo

Tl;dr

Goodrow is so much better defensively though.

 

[Ledge And Dairy]

Tampa can't really afford him over other players next year so a rental is more likely the target. Johan Larsson has always been a solid shutdown guy and shouldn't cost too much, I would personally go for him

Buffalo will eat half in return for Katchouk or Raddysh

 

[GermanSpitfire]

If Crouse was made available i’m sure there would be many suitors for his services.

Buffalo cuts Tampa in line and trades for Crouse themselves is a better idea.

Just assumed any oversized, overhyped, no skill forward was a Flyer.

 

[Hogan20]

Crouse is not being moved for anything less than a gross overpayment.

Than Crouse? I strongly doubt that. Crouse is excellent defensively and has great speed

Larsson is available, Crouse is not unless it’s massive overpay. Eg: 1st round pick + prospect.

Like… who?

JVR.

Until last offseason Nolan Patrick.

Arizona needs one more Crouse, not one fewer.

 

[McJedi]

I’d like the LA Kings to trade Mark Stone to the Avs for Chris Drury.

So the consensus #2 picks in both draft years, that the Flyers were unlucky enough to be in a position to pick. Cool story man.

 

[AveryStar4Eva]

Seems like one of the few bright spots in Arizona and still young enough for the rebuild. Doubt they let him go unless there is an overpay

How much for Larsson?

If we have the cap space and he's healthy at the TDL I would do it
