I'm not sure that they do. To me they both have a number of red flags being thrown up around them. Forsberg's slide in the draft, and Washington's willingness to deal him so soon after are concerning. Word is coming over from scouts that there are concerns with his skating and his ability to play in NA.
Similar things are coming out about Morrow as well. He's struggling in his first year as a pro, and there are rumblings about him being unwilling to change his game to become more effective. With Pittsburgh's glut of pmd's they felt he wad the least worthwhile of their effort to develop.
I think that this draft more than most 1sts came at a premium.
