[Brock]

Strong, cerebral, two-way center who had a very strong second half to his rookie year after an injury filled start.

Skating needed to be upgraded in his draft year, but he looked quicker at the Hlinka camp. Haven't seen him yet this year though.

 

[LeProspector]

Does he play in the middle of Janik and Kaliyev!

 

[Peasy]

No Jenik plays center.

 

[Sens72]

He had a hat trick today. 33 points in 36 games.

 

[rt]

His production seems to have dried completely out with Kaliyev and Jenik away. 1pt in 5gp when both were out. That’s a little worrisome, but his being 17 until July 9th helps ease that a bit. Very young for his draft year.

 

[ORRFForever]

77 points in 43 games and a goal tonight.

 

[ORRFForever]

1G

 

[De Montreal]

So now he's gonna get drafted?

 

[ORRFForever]

1 empty net goal to finish the game.

Having a big year but is not an overage player He is 2002 born. He is an overage next year.

This guy is very interesting.



As you can see here his PNHLe ranks similarly to guys like Reichel, Guenther and Bourque.

For those that don’t know - PNHLe measures NHL point potential based on historical age-, league- and position-adjusted values.

 

[The Crypto Guy]

So where does he go? 3rd, 4th round? Usually don't see older players going early.

Maybe as early as the second round?

Passed over players are often picked in the 2nd round every year, sometimes even in the 1st. Pearson, bjorgstrom, chinahkov are all recent 1st rounders off the top of my head that were not in their first eligible draft year.

Yep. Washington did that too taking Brett Leason round 2 in 2019. He had 89 points in 55 games that year as 19/20 year old.

 

[Fistfullofbeer]

I can see the Kraken reaching for him with our own 2nd round pick. Or with one of the other 3 2nd round picks we have if not that. They did reach with Ryker Evans last season and I am pretty sure they have been scouting Hamilton this season since we have Winterton playing there already.

 

[BlueBull]

2 Points per game in the OHL Playoffs, and he doesn't have a size problem.

How high would you draft him in the draft this year?

 

[Peasy]

I'd imagine he goes in the 2nd/3rd

 

[Parliament]

Is the 2022 draft still considered weak?

$0.02 = He's out scoring the majority of his peers, produces on the PP, has a solid defensive game, seems to be improving at faceoffs (2022 = +50%), he isn't considered "small", his teammates seem to like him (based on a few interviews I've seen) ... and considering the impact Covid-19 had on the 2021 OHL "season", I'd think teams would view this as a rare opportunity to snag what appears to be a very good player that wasn't drafted due to a lost season - nothing to do with lack of development/production, injuries, charachter issues, etc.

With this in mind I have to think he's not making it past the 2nd round. And if it is a weak class, I wouldn't be surprised if he was grabbed in the last half of the 1st.

EDIT: didn't realize he was first eligible for the 2020 draft... whoops. Yeah, no idea if that will change things :/

The way I look at it, if I were to use a 2nd round pick on a prospect and in their D+2 they put up the numbers Morrison has, would I be happy? Yes I definitely would be happy.
