If I never had to see Sam Morin’s name pop up in a minor transaction, I would be a much happier person.
The Philadelphia Flyers forward(?) has almost become a meme. Ever since he was selected at 11th overall in the 2013 NHL Draft, this archetype of a big, bruising, and nasty defender has carried him through the five years of his professional hockey career. Injuries have surely gotten the better of Morin—the 25-year-old has only appeared in 22 games between the Flyers and Phantoms since the 2017-18 season—but it’s truly time to admit that this is just not going to work out.
