Morin is getting no love, don't get it
This is my problem with resigning Simmons or signing JVR. We don't need more long contracts with so many kids with realistic chances of being great pros.
It's a movable contract now, but if he seriously declines to the point that we want/need to get rid of him then it wont be...To be fair that JVR contract is very tradeable. If we get to a point where he declines and is pushed out by the young kids it shouldn't be hard to trade him for pennies on the dollar.

But there's no reason to expect that, so no reason to worry about it now.
The way the actual money vs AAV is set up I think that even in the last two years of the deal it would be reasonably moveable to a team near the salary cap floor.
And barring major injury trouble that severely hurts his abilities JVR should at least be a serviceable 3rd liner who can produce on the PP for the whole of that contract. I dunno. Hopefully it doesnt come to that.

Morin is getting no love, don't get it
Has less to do with Morin than it does the other prospects. He is definitely in my top 10 but a defensemen with a ceiling of a stay-at-home #4 doesnt belong ahead of forwards with top 6 ceilings.
I value him higher as he is a massive need over someone like Alison. Our D will be is desperate need of some muscle and rather that be Morin over some plug vet
But I get the reasoning against him.
I don't think Morin is a massive need over Allison or Ratcliffe. We already have two better LHD. What is a bigger need 2/3 RW or #5-6 defenseman? You could argue either way, IMO. You could say we need a really good PK defenseman and Morin could fill that hole. But, we also need shooters/goal scorers and Allison and Ratcliffe can fill those roles.
Jake and TK are here for 5 more years min. G and JVR also, give me the D help.
Not complaining about depth. I’m just curious where they all fit into the top 9 if 2-3 of them hit in the next 1-2 years. Trust me, not saying it’s a bad thing be any means.People complaining about depth? Did you forget about the bottom 6 we dressed last year?
I like Vorobyev but his ceiling here is 3C and he needs Frost to play wing for that to happen. I have him in this 5-10ish tier but have a couple guys ahead of him.

Rich man's problems. If it happens I'm sure you'll have fun mustering up hypothetical trades for them all.Not complaining about depth. I’m just curious where they all fit into the top 9 if 2-3 of them hit in the next 1-2 years. Trust me, not saying it’s a bad thing be any means.
