Things don’t look too good for Morin. Former 13th overall pick and he still hasn’t had a salary as high as his entry-level deal.
True (tho he did go 11th in 2013). That said, he’s still with the team that drafted him. The only other 2013 1st rounders still with their drafted teams (tho this may soon change) are:
MacKinnon - COL (#1)
Barkov - FLA (#2)
Monahan - CGY (#6)
Nurse - EDM (#7)
Hotvat - VAN (#9)
Morin - PHI (#11)
Morrissey - WPG (#13)
Pulock - NYI (#15)
Usually, by 8 years, 1st rounders are either:
a) established with the team that drafted them (a la Barkov)
b) established on another team, after bringing in a haul in a trade (a la Seth Jones)
c) no longer on NHL contract/in Europe (a la
Kerby Rychal)
Morin is the exception and sorta feels like the 40-year-old-virgin version of a hockey prospect.
Edit: added Horvat; subbed Dickinson
