Quick Strikes: Marcus Johansson signed a new deal with the Sabres

The Tampa Bay Lightning selected defenseman Max Crozier in the fourth round of 2019 NHL Entry Draft. Check out our draft profile on him [Raw Charge]

Crozier was an overage player for this draft, having turned 19 in April. He scored 43 points in 60 games, which put him 5th among defenders in the USHL. Even for an overage player, that’s solid production. His 43 points placed him tied for 5th on the Stampede and their leading defender by 18 points ahead of first round pick Ryan Johnson. At 6’1 194 lbs, he’s right in the optimal range for a player in the modern NHL.
