Last time we got a big D prospect from the Canes, it worked out pretty well …

Morrow was the 81st ranked prospect in the league and this was his write up:

"Who doesn’t love a dynamic puck-moving defenseman who is always in attack mode? Scott Morrow plays a high-octane style and he’s always quick and decisive in transition. He shows great speed, edges, and confidence in his movement when attacking off the rush and he always has the opposition on their heels trying to predict his next move. Morrow has produced a ton of offense in the NCAA, accumulating 64 points in 72 games through his freshman and sophomore seasons, with another 30-40 point season likely on the way this season. Defensively, he’s still a work in progress, but you can’t deny his ability to generate offense."

Bunting being involved makes me think someone else is involved but I can't see them playing Jarry if they are trading him tonight.

I'm praying it's Graves going with Jake.

I appreciate the Pens commitment to tanking tonight but someone should tell them we don't lose points by getting beat 10-0.

Graves contract is so bad, the Pens will have to pay half his salary. And it is still more than he is worth. And that term. Oooof.

Dubas probably remembers his 63 point rookie season on the top line and thinks it can happen again lol
- 10inchTerror

He's on pace for about 17g and 49pts. At least he didn't fall off a cliff offensively. Though I definitely have my concerns as well

Ok. This I can live with. He’s their 3rd ranked prospect I think.

I dont know much about the consensus #1 pick this year... is he worth Uncle Gary rigging the draft for us or should we wait?

That would be tremendous. Clear #2 prospect and finally a blue chip RD. Good for a rebuild. Bad for now because it's another offensive defense on the right side, though I guess I'll take that over Ruhwedel.

Wheeler write up on Morrow:

One of the most productive freshman defensemen in college hockey two seasons ago, the Minutemen’s leading scorer as a sophomore last year, and a point per game defenseman as a junior while, most importantly, playing better defensively in huge minutes (nearly 25 a night), Morrow is a real talent who made the jump from high school hockey directly into the NCAA look easy from a skill standpoint (he has had to do some maturing/growing up on and off the ice).

He’s an excellent transition defender who transports pucks confidently, plays boldly inside the offensive zone and possesses impressive handling skill for a defenseman. He’s an exit/entry machine who carves teams up through the neutral zone with head fakes, side steps and cuts (his skating impresses on its edges, even if he’s not explosive). When he’s on the ice, he wants to take over and direct play in possession and does so by guiding opposing players out of his way. On top of all that, he’s a 6-foot-2 righty whose game defensively has taken important steps to cut back on mistakes, stay in better positioning and eliminate some of the bad habits that concerned scouts. There’s real top-four upside to Morrow if he continues to round out his game. UMass has a great track record developing top defensemen, too.

He did lol. But that team was one of the biggest under-achievers in Pens history. Maybe the biggest.

Ruh is like a cockroach. Has a 6-7 damn ever been with one team so long?
