I don't even think its that. I think its more that he's the type of player that some scouts will really covet and other scouts won't want as bad. Everybody has biases towards certain types of players and Crouse is going to appeal to the scouts who like big, power forwards who can be complimentary players. He's not going to appeal to the scouts who focus on pure puck skills.
Big power forwards are a rare commodity and he won't wait too long on draft day IMO. I don't think there's any chance he falls out of the top 12. Wouldn't surprise me if he was the type of player the Flames would try to trade up to get since we know Treliving and Burke ideally would like to add skilled size to the Flames.
