Confirmed with Link: Flames Sign Kenney Morrison

[Trae]

@TSNBobMcKenzie: CGY is strong front runner to land college UFA right-shot D Kenney Morrison of Western Michigan University.

Was reading this article a couple days ago and was hoping we would go after him:

Kenney Morrison, Western Michigan (defenseman) -- Possibly the most-coveted free-agent defenseman, Morrison came back for his junior season despite getting some NHL attention after his sophomore year. He plays a ton of minutes and has pretty good quickness to go along with a bigger frame. He's been a weapon on the power play with one of the heaviest shots in college hockey. His season is over, meaning that he'll receive a lot of attention.

Cool.

Another Alberta boy, interesting. Anyone have the scoop on him?

 

[Trae]

Big right handed heavy shot? Sign me up.

Per sureLoss:

From the back burner thread:\
\
D Kenney Morrison 6'2'' 205lbs Shoots R Age: 22 Junior\
http://www.eliteprospects.com/player.php?player=50034\
described as an excellent 2-way defenceman with size and good hands \
considered a "tremendous skater"\
has a pro-style shot - a "cannon from the point"\
attended the Oilers development camp in 2013 and Oilers reportedly pursued him hard last spring\
went to the Kings camp in 2014\
put up more points than fellow teammate Dekeyser in 2012/2013\
from Lloydminster, so Oilers and Flames might have an advantage if he wants to stay near home

I worked with a guy at the pulp mill in Nanaimo called Kenny Morrison. I don't think this is the same guy, though.

I like attempting to pick up FA's like this, it gives us focus to find more quality forwards in the draft too.

 

[Johnny GODreau]

Awesome, steal another College FA from the Oilers. (Brabant was the first I can recall.)

^ FFF you and your forwards.

 

[Ace Rimmer]

Skates well, big body, booming shot?

Yes please.

Can't rely on our top line to score every game!

 

[Zirakzigil]

Interesting. How many contracts are the Flames at right now?

 

[StreakingRed]

Great news. Get it done, Treliving!

46 I think. 47 if Poirier plays 10 games.

 

[Rangediddy]

You had me at 'tremendous skater'

Okay, Boring Monahan.

 

[YMCMBYOLO]

Anglesmith probably runs Boring Sean Monahan, he seems to have the perfect tone for it

My skin tone is pretty pale actually, whereas Monahan is a few shades darker. You would probably be able to notice the difference if we put our hands beside each other.

Flames are apparently in on Casey Bailey as well.



2 potential free prospects, in areas of need. Awesome.

I don't want to derail the thread but who is this Casey Bailey?

6'3 RW who's has a shot at the Hobey Baker

 

[Unlimited Chequing]

Calgary Flames: Cradle Robbers.

I like it.

 

[InfinityIggy]

6'3 RW who's has a shot at the Hobey Baker

This gives me an Erixon.

 

[Gritty]

I like free stuff! Good job, Treliving! Make it happen.

 

[Ace Rimmer]

I was going to ask who is Ashley Chase.
