The Grand Rapids Griffins just leveled up their blue line by signing ECHL MVP Marcus Crawford, who exploded for 86 points and 72 assists last season with Kansas City. A familiar face from his 2018-19 stint in Grand Rapids, Crawford brings elite two-way play and fits perfectly under head coach Dan Watson, who coached him in Toledo. With Crawford joining a defense already stocked with NHL-bound prospects like Wallinder and Sandin-Pellikka—and waiver-ready depth like Lagesson and Attard—the Griffins are building a stacked, flexible roster. Expect big things from the former MVP as he looks to translate his ECHL dominance to the AHL.
