I highly doubt he makes the roster at this point. First offensive defender call up. He’ll get 20 minutes a night in Chicago learning the system and hopefully be ready for late season call up to give other guys a night off here and there.
Likely replacement for Burns in 25-26. Although he has some competition in Legault.

Best bet is he'll start the season on the top pairing in Chicago and the Canes will use either Ryan, Smith, or Stillman as the #7.

This is Hurricanes Hockey
Most likely a full time NHLer next season. The Hurricanes have pretty much all non-business control of the Wolves so Morrow in theory will likely get good minutes to help his development into hopefully a legit top-4 player here. Likely call-up at some point.
Lots of excitement for him amongst the fans. It was a great relief when he signed (some rumors he wouldn't). At worse case he becomes the second coming of Brett Pesce, which actually would be great value for where he was drafted. Highest praise I've seen is Adam Fox. John Carlson is another I've seen. Whatever the case, he's a big part of the future here.

Three responses in and no one has asked sadcbjfan what the name of his fantasy team is yet? HF26 is slipping I tell ya!
So what is the name of you fantasy team.

Morrow is a pretty fascinating prospect to watch. He could be an all star, and he could never establish himself as an NHL player at all. Depends on the team around him, his usage, his development as a pro vs NCAA and his ability/willingness to understand what’s being taught. He’s a huge question mark compared to Nikishin. Nikishin can play the game and the position, with him it’s a matter of how well he can translate what he can do to the NHL vs the KHL but he’s gonna play. We’ll see how high he gets up the lineup.
Morrow is far less predictable. He didn’t understand the position at the NCAA level and has trouble not just doing his own thing. He’ll have to develop a lot to be a guy Rod would count on.

I think that’s what Nikishin has been consistently doing for the last 2+ years, yes.

Too gently. You need to do so with a rusty pitchfork coated in typhus.

Didn't we just send Kuznetsov to the KHL for Nikishin to come over here? I think that's how it works in these international hostage negotiation type situations right?

It's so confusing when someone talks about having to bridge this prospect and you don't know if they mean giving him a short-time contract or black cars parking at the either end and the two guys being simultaneously sent to walk to the other end.
