Samuel Morin has dropped three spots in our rankings from last year as he prepares for his first professional season. Why's that?
If Robert Hagg, whom Kurt profiled at No. 9 yesterday morning, happens to be the least heralded of the Flyers' high-end defensive prospects, then Samuel Morin's got to be on the opposite end of that spectrum, at least from public perception. There's a certain level of hype brought along with being the first upper-echelon defensive prospect brought into the Flyers' system in quite some time, and it doesn't seem to be slowing down as Morin readies himself for his first year of professional hockey -- almost assuredly with Lehigh Valley.
