From my write-ups:
-D Etienne Morin would be a good player to spend a middle 2nd rounder on. 72 points in 67 games for Moncton of the Q, followed by 17 points in 12 playoff games. He's a fast, agile skater who, unlike many offensive D prospects from the Q, has a sound two-way game to match his top-tier offensive instincts and IQ. Solid gap-control, and physical along the boards, and in front of the net. Plays confidently in all situations, and all zones. Hard, accurate shot, and excellent puck-handling ability. He excels in transition, with good exit, and entry ability. If there's a weakness, it would perhaps be his size (6'0"), and strength. Many suggest he will make a fine second-pairing D in the big leagues.
