Patrick is the second overall but develops a crippling migraine disorder that wrecks him as a player. Lindblom is turning into a bonafide star and then gets cancer. Morin is a top ten pick with a superb toolbox to become a real star but turns out to be made of biscuits. F this organisation's luck.

In an otherwise shit year, which lets be honest we all expected, really the only thing I personally looked forward to was seeing 1) AV fired 2) Cuck and co fired and 3) Sam destroy Wilson. I guess it’s the bit of mouth breather in me.
Only one of those things came true.
Get better soon Sammy! Easy to root for him.

What a shame. He seems like such a likeable guy, the kind you just have to root for.
Would love to see him get a job of some kind in the organization.

Damnit… this one hits hard for some reason. All the hard work he put in, just for it all to end at that age. Hope he can find his new calling after hockey.

f***. f***.
It's not about the variety of expectations since day one. It's just that he fought through so much. Best of luck in future life..

"Team will discuss a job in the organization"
oh ffs. sucks that his career ended like this but do the Flyers HAVE to hire every single ex-player? i can't wait to see him added to the player development team. /s

This is one of those situations where I don't mind them giving a former Flyer a job. He's by every account a hard working, positive thinking 26 year old -- who has only known this organization since he was 18 -- with a high school education whose body is wrecked from the sport. On a human level, this is doing right by someone. Give him a purpose as he transitions to his next chapter. Something like this exists apart from the usual incestuous cronyism, which can cloud things.
What I can't stand is when f***ing guys like Stewart and Schultz, mid-30s guys who earned $22 and $30 million in their careers, have their cup of coffee or two with the team at the end of their careers and turn that into being organization lifers, like Laperrière. The problem isn't Morin; it's the context.

SELL THE DAMN TEAM
Spot on @Magua , from all accounts Morin, is a great kid and it’s no fault of his that his career ended on such a sad note. He was never gonna be a star, but a 6’7 beast that could have excelled on the pk and played a shutdown role is something any franchise would love to have.
Here’s wishing you nothing but success and happiness, Sam.

Basically the polar opposite of Nate Thompson in terms of character. This is definitely someone who should be looked after by the organization. Of course, they’ll probably hire Thompson instead

What a sad story. His goal last year was the highlight of the season. Cheers Sam

That goal was definitely one of the better individual moments in the last couple seasons. Just look at how excited Locker Room Cancer Shayne Gostisbehere was for Morin. Leaping into his arms. NAK also forgot to take a penalty he was so elated.

On some level it shows how bad this team has been for a while, but one of the coolest moments I’ve seen in the last few years was Morin scoring his first NHL goal in the midst of a small Covid crowd and the whole team mobbing him.
The guy worked his butt off and it was a really cool moment.
Edit to add: did not see Magua’s post right before me before posting this. The point remains though.

Poor kid. Was hoping he could still develop into a 3rd pairing defenseman. His goal last season has been one of this team's highlights over the last while.
I usually bag organizations for giving players immediate staff jobs once their playing career is over, but this one I support as long as it makes sense.

Sad for Sam, must be absolutely devastating to have such a career taken away by something out of your control.
