Inside Wheeler’s Shocking Summer 2025 NHL Prospect Rankings: Who’s the True Future Star?
Morrow is a real talent who made the jump from high school hockey directly into the NCAA look easy from a skill standpoint (though he has had to do some maturing/growing up on and off the ice) and then did the same in the AHL. He still has some learning to do in terms of his defensive consistency and habits, but he’s an excellent transition defender who transports pucks confidently, plays boldly inside the offensive zone and possesses impressive handling skill for a defenseman. He’s an exit/entry machine who carves teams up through the neutral zone with head fakes, side steps and cuts — his skating impresses on its edges, even if he’s not explosive. When he’s on the ice, he wants to take over and direct play in possession, and he does so by guiding opposing players out of his way. He’s also a 6-foot-2 righty whose defensive game has taken important steps to cut back on mistakes, stay in better positioning and eliminate some of the bad habits that concerned scouts. He projects as a No. 3-5, PP2 D with a real offensive tilt.
