No Prior Knowledge of "Flyers"
Morin is still a somewhat alluring player, but time and luck have not been his friend. He's still quite mobile at his size, but he's been robbed (both by coaching and by injuries) of integral years needed to adapt to the NHL game. His outlook potential dimmed from "serious force" to "solid depth" I think, and in the time since his draft Myers has emerged as this absolute unicorn who takes precedent as the young giant project piece that you drop into the lineup.
It's a tough situation. I really want him to show he still has some stuff, enough for them to unload Hagg and let Sam rock the #7 spot. Injuries will happen, he will get time, and if he does well, he could earn a role with Braun's deal expiring after this year.
