Morin finished the year tied for first on his team in scoring and 1st in +/- feats that Poirier never achieved(was off by one point one year but that was D+1).
To be fair I haven't been Poirier's biggest fan due to his inconsistent effort and lackluster gap control but I am confident in saying that Morin is the better prospect. I watched Poirier a lot in Junior and can't judge his performance post junior career though. Poirier might have the better hands but overall I think Morin is a lot more polished and projects to be the better player offensively and defensively.
