Talent Analysis
Morin plays well at both ends of the ice. With a skinny frame, he doesn’t shy away from the physical play and is able to finish his checks. Morin shows the ability to protect the puck well. He is a tenacious competitor whose play along the boards is quite good. He is defensively responsible and plays very well in one-on-one situations. His great puckhandling and passing skills enable him to play the point in power-play situations. He possesses a good, quick release as well. Morin is a decent skater, but it is one area that could use some improvement. With more body weight, Morin could be a very intimidating and much stronger presence on the ice.
