The Blades finished first in the East Division with the WHL's best record and reached the second round of the playoffs. Stanford handled all the goaltending in the playoffs for Saskatoon. Morrison re-entered the 2011 NHL Draft after not being signed by the Flyers but was not selected.

2011-12: Morrison was signed to a one-year entry-level contract by the Bruins in March 2012. He made his pro debut with AHL Providence at the end of the season after spending the year in the WHL with Saskatoon and Vancouver.

Ryan Spooner is off to a great start in Providence as one of the teams top scorers, in only his first year at the professional level. In goal Niklas Svedberg has jumped over Michael Hutchinson, and if he keeps up his solid play could end up being Tuukka Rask's back up sooner rather than later.

Jordan Caron is the only other player drafted by Chiarelli with more than a dozen NHL games played, and even he has not cemented himself a place in Boston's lineup yet.
