It’s funny. Hagg made the team he got sent down. Injuries happened. He got recalled. Hextall flip and called him out for being injured and was playing through it. Did what hextall ask and nursed it back and played would reinsure so sat out. Then hextall called out players for not playing through injuries. So he come back for the AHL playoffs not in game shape and blows his knee out.

Funny is the wrong word ironic is probably better

It's a shame to watch an organization murder a dudes career like that. Even if he decided to come back, hes never going to be the same player he could've been.

I don’t think they murdered it. But. The irony of what has happened to him.

It’s still not over yet but it’s not looking good for him to ever play here. And to think we could have watched him become the veteran while waiting on Sanheim and Myers.

He came back for the AHL playoffs because it was more than three months after he had surgery on his groin. Not because Hextall called him, or anyone on the team, out for not playing through injuries. It's f***ing hysterical the things people will invent in order to create a narrative that comforts them.

No one murdered Morin's career. He blew his knee out on a non-contact play.

Can we waive injured player? If we waive him now or at the start of next year it makes no difference.

He is under contract for another season and is RFA after that lol. Not sure why everyone thinks he is toast.

it’s not the contract, I think he’s traded if anything. It’s going on year, what? 6? He will be in a Phantoms Jersey if not traded, then released.

Damn, I saw the thread title and I thought someone bumped an old thread up. Gutted to see this happen to Sam Morin. I hope there is some way he can get a shot with the flyers at some point.

Feel bad for the guy but he was never any good to begin with. He was a reach and a major project for where they drafted him. Even before the injuries he had opportunity after opportunity to make the team and he didn't. Of course, according to some it was this GM's fault, that GM's fault, and all of the coaches who have been around in the 6 years since he was drafted. You know, because a bunch of guys on a message board know more than the several coaches and GM's who didn't think he was good enough. Maybe if it was 20 years ago and he stayed healthy he would have been a good NHL player but he isn't a modern day NHL defenseman and now the injuries have probably derailed what little bit of a career he had. I hope he comes back and proves me wrong because he certainly has faced a ton of adversity in recent years but I'm not holding my breath and neither should the rest of you.

I was at the Allentown Symphony Hall on Sunday. The guy behind me, his daughter, a ballerina, was lead on a few of numbers of Swan Lake. She has had 2 ACLs surgeries. She went to the best surgeon at CHOP [Children's Hospital of Phila.]. She looked good to me. Though I have to admit I am no expert on ballet. I was there to see Drew Peterson, the pianist.
