Almost every team's best prospect get overhyped on HF.
He hasn't been our best prospect since Sanheim was drafted in June 2014.

Ghost played like ****e during Calgary game, I would bench him and place Morin in his place.
Passjets can use some size on the d .. a morin poolman bottem pair cld be decent
Thank you for proving my point
…...he didn't. Morin was easily our best prospect at that point. We picked Laughton with our own 1st round pick in 2012 and hadn't used our own 1st round pick since 2008 before that.
He was still overhyped.He hasn't been our best prospect since Sanheim was drafted in June 2014.
Wow.
I said team's best prospects get overhyped, guy says prospect was best up to a certain point in time.
Doesn't see that that proves my point.
Critical thinking is in short supply.
Morin’s draft was eons ago. He is no longer a prospect. That ship sailed long ago.
What’s the deal with Myers? Still in ahl?
Quebec version of Dylan McIlrath
No, they weren't.
He was taken as a project and he's never broken out into "the next big thing" -- you're forgetting which of our several D prospects we were hyping up.
This is some revisionist history. Morin was in the system before Provorov, Myers, and Sanheim. There was a period of time in which Morin was most certainly the "next big thing" for many Flyers fans after he was drafted (11th overall!), with some hype shared with Gostibehere as he gained steam in his D+1 season. While that hype is dated compared to more recent hype as injuries have completely derailed Morin's chances, that doesn't mean the hype never existed.
There were Flyers fans comparing him to Pronger.It's not revisionist history - no one ever claimed Samuel Morin was going to be a stud in the Flyers farm system. We all knew Morin was taken higher than he probably should've been and was a project.
Let's just settle at this because you want to split hairs: Morin had the typical hype a solid 1st round pick has right after the draft, especially in a position of organizational need.
He was never hyped as the next great d-man in Flyers history.
Always felt he was going to be a bust. He was hyped due to size, but the absence fo skill didnt bode well.
He could be a 7th D in the future, but at this time the value for him is virtually nothing. He is waiver fodder
There were Flyers fans comparing him to Pronger.
It was definitely a narrative that Philly sports media tried to push, and a bunch of fans bought into it.Like who? Pronger scored 117 points in 82 games in his draft year.
You can always find a couple of fans with no connection to reality. But they don't speak for the majority.
