AZ declines. No chance they think that highly of Colton. Crouse is a guy who WANTS to be in AZ.

Yeah neither team actually does this

why would tampa not do it. a good player locked into a good deal long term

If they have 4 million to throw at a foward lock Colton up for 7-8 years the rest of that package gets you a fake mullet from AZ which is ok👍. Colton has scored 20.6 goal/82 playing with last year mostly Bellemare and Namestnikov
Prior year Joseph and Katchouk/Raddysh. Give him Stamkos and Cirelli and 16-19mpg he puts up 30-35g55-65pts

I don’t understand your crazy love for Colton.. everyone’s post you throw around these same statistics but you never mention how bad his compete level is five on five or his defensive game and why he can’t be on a line with stamkos and cirelli because he’s not responsible in d zone to be.. that’s why hagel works with point and kuch, he doesn’t cheat for offense.. Colton does and he can’t do that on that line

How bad his compete level is are you stoned? Can't understand your hate. Watch "his compete you're delusional. Is he Hagel defensively no but Hagel was second in the league behind Marner in steals . He's the next Marchessault/Verheaghe if we let him go.

It’s not letting him go if you trade him for value.. those 2 were UFA, not RFA.. big difference.. I believe you can fill 2 or three holes with Colton… because his statistics offensively are good but his 2 hundred foot game keeps him from being top six.. cirelli can’t cover for both stamkos and Colton in the regular season..

I disagree with your assertion this is good value it's meh. Colton is a liability? He has also proven to be a playoff performer. You think Colton isn't good enough defensively yet sign Crouse. Stepping out of the frying pan and into the fire.

what was that about colton?
