The 6’7 227lb defenseman, is currently playing in his second season in Lehigh Valley.
Morin has played in 125 games scoring 29 points, adding 201 penalty minutes so far in his AHL career.
With the Phantoms, Morin is being groomed “to be a shutdown guy, a penalty killer. His focus isn’t about getting points. It’s about doing what he’s going to do in the NHL,” Gordon said. “And hopefully one day – sooner rather than later – that will happen.” (Sam Carchidi)
A towering presence on the blue line, Morin plays plenty of minutes against the opposing team’s top offensive units and is called upon to provide a steadying force in the defensive end.
