That either means our prospect depth is poor or he's not that good.

This is a valid/interesting point. admittedly I was kinda lazy on the math so I may have missed some names , but by my count Morin was the 3rd or 4th D taken out of the CHL- often the 3-4 CHL d is taken as a late first rounder. so I don't know whether this year was a weak year for Dmen in the CHL, or moreso from what we are hearing it was just a deep draft in general- including for forwards. at any rate, whether Morin was a steal or not- I think having one of the top 4 CHL dmen in his class (and he wasn't viewed as a reach when picked) I think bodes well for him- of course that and 3 dollars will get you a Starbucks coffee so he has to take it from here
