But Morrow does have potential to be a top 4 dman. He was drafted in the first round for a reason.
And where did you get that Agostino and Hanowski are potential 6 forwards? Every scouting report says their potential is 3rd line wingers.With Agostino maybe becoming a 2nd liner.
IMO, Morrow has a much higher upside.

I read that they have 2nd line potential, but that really couldn't matter any less at this point.
Arguing whether they have 2nd / 3rd line potenatil vs. Morrow's top-4 d-man potential is futile at this point, and it reeks of just wanting something to complain about.
There is no way to point at Morrow and conclude he's better than the
late first round pick + 2 forward prospects.
At the end of the day, those who are trying to do so are just venting in my opinion. Venting because we didn't get the return for Iginla we would have had we traded him when he had term remaining on his contract.
Thems the brakes.
We gambled and lost. We ended up building a small, soft roster with absolutely no depth at centre. That facilitated the loss of Jarome Iginla for very little return when all was said and done.
