Plus, Morrow learns the Carolina way versus the independent Wolves way. Canes having control matters (this year in particular).I’m happy we’re not forcing Morrow into the lineup. A year in the AHL will be good for development. And he hopefully gets a few call ups this season to see how he’s progressing.
I will like this post but still retain the right to complain long and loudly about suckage after the 1st preseason game.Hopefully everyone remembers that all new Canes defenseman suck for the first 40-50 games. The world is not ending when Walker inevitably sucks in the beginning as he learns the Canes system.
I will send this reminder as the season starts... But it took Hamilton, Burns, Orlov all about 40-50 games until they settled in on D in a Canes uniform. Will probably take our new long term defensemen a half season as well.
He’s a good player, he’s a good two way guy. I don’t know that there’s a lot of development left though he can excel in our system. I wanted him as a rental last deadline. I watched him with the Avs and he really faded when the grind of the playoffs happened. I don’t know if he got hurt or if it was the adjustment to a new team but he started hot and very much fizzled. He was essentially invisible at the end. It’s a matter of expectations, he’s somewhere in the 4-6 range usually. Sometimes he pops as a three for awhile but I don’t think he’s that guy with consistency. He’s a good fit for us. For me it’s just tough to let go of our ability to play tough defense when stuck in our zone. Losing size and grit when it’s not our strong suit, as Walker isn’t the most physical defender. I see this as a good regular season fit, which goes with our mantra of being a playoff team every year.Yeah I may be misremembering or sour grapes-ing or whatever but these descriptions don’t sound all that different from skjei when they brought him in
f*** the Washington Capitals.per PuckPedia.
