Looks like Lee's reading the wrong Twin Cities' newspaper. ;-) Today's
St. Paul Pioneer Press story addresses this issue:
Anaheim has no plans to sign Crowley until at least next year,
assistant
general manager Dave McNab said.
``We definitely will leave Mike in school for another year. I called
(Gophers coach) Doug Woog and told him that,'' said McNab, who lives in
Coon Rapids and has seen Crowley play many times the past five seasons.
``We think he will be ready in another year, though, so we're
looking at
possibly signing him after next season.
