It's been quite an offseason for Lawson Crouse.
In addition to getting engaged to his longtime girlfriend, Claire, while on vacation in Paris, the 25-year-old winger signed a five-year contract with the Arizona Coyotes prior to his scheduled arbitration hearing on Monday. The deal comes on the heels of a career year for 'The Sheriff,' who logged 20 goals and 14 assists in 65 games last season.
The 2015 first-round pick (11th overall) now has the opportunity to build on that success while continuing to suit up for the Coyotes - the only NHL team he has played for.
