Heard it on the show, so can confirm.

Totally a trustworthy source.

 

[Mrfenn92]

Good for him and the canes. Will have a nice opportunity next year.

 

[Look Up]

Expect further confirmation of signing by Tom Morrow

Rev up your engines!!

 

[Brodeur]

It'll be a 3 year ELC, we'll see if it starts this season or next. If it gets registered for this season, Morrow would be playoff eligible.

 

[Discipline Daddy]

Awesome news for Canes fans.

I bet the deal involved burning a year off the ole' ELC and having Morrow as a black ace for the playoffs. That's a decent motivator for him. If he doesn't sign at all with the Canes, he has to wait until August 2025 and so his ELC would end 2 years later IIRC.

I doubt he was guaranteed a starting role for next year. Brind'Amour is not the guy who guarantees anyone a spot. Gotta earn it in camp. Looks wide open for Morrow to at least make the top 7 next year given all our expiring contracts at D.

Any top NCAA player ELC just burns that first year by default now. It's kinda silly but standard practice.

Frozen 4 not for 2 weeks

Their next Pesce?

Extremely different players

 

[Unsustainable]

Their next Pesce?

I've heard comparisons to Dougie Hamilton

 

[spockBokk]

Their next Pesce?

Maybe their next Justin Faulk, in terms of impact. I think if he rounds out his defensive game, he eventually becomes an offensively minded top 4RD good for 40pts a season, give or take.

Stylistically, I do see a lot of Hamilton in his game, with better skating.

 

[WTFMAN99]

I was wondering if he'd sign, good for Canes that he is.

I wonder when Nikishin will come?

Frozen 4 not for 2 weeks

Nhl season ends after that event. For years teams finished season ethe same weekend as thst event..

Now frozen 4 teams can sign pro contracts and play a game burning year 1.

They (non-teenager) don't necessarily need to play a game to burn a year. Joey Anderson won the 2018 National Title on April 7. The Devils played their final regular season game the same night. Anderson signed his ELC on April 15 and the contract was registered for that season which got burned without him playing. I forget if he physically joined the Devils as they were wrapping up their first round series with Tampa.

In past years, I recall Alex Lyon signing with Philadelphia and he got to burn the first year immediately without officially playing. I vaguely recall that he might have suited up as a backup. I forget if an undrafted guy could sign after the regular season and have his contract be registered that year. I remember Drake Caggiula winning the National title and then taking several weeks to decide where to sign since the Frozen Four coincided with the end of the NHL regular season.

my best guess on Boom is after the KHL playoffs next season. Now the question on if they'll be done with the KHL playoffs in time for him to make it over and get into a regular season game or three next year.

Canes Sign Morrow To Entry-Level Contract | Carolina Hurricanes

Defenseman was set to become an unrestricted free agent in August

Pesce and Slavin have done well for the Canes. Now Morrow can show hes ready.

 

[Brodeur]

Don Waddell, President and General Manager of the National Hockey League’s Carolina Hurricanes, today announced that the team has signed defenseman Scott Morrow to a three-year, entry-level contract. Morrow will receive $807,500 at the NHL level in 2023-24 and $832,500 at the NHL level in 2024-25 and 2025-26. He will receive $80,000 at the American Hockey League (AHL) level for all three seasons, and the deal will include a signing bonus of $277,500.

Looks like the contract got registered for the current season so that means Morrow will burn the first year (because of his age, he doesn't need to play in 10+ NHL games). We'll see if Morrow gets in a regular season game, maybe if Carolina is locked into a certain spot down the stretch?
