I could understand it if Morton dominated NCAA in his last 2 seasons, his 23yo and 24yo, but he didn't. He put up 42pts in 47GP.

I picked Morton, I think that he is in the same general category as Schwindt. He is also a center, and he seemed to transition quite well to the AHL. Most notably, he managed to still generate offense at the AHL level. That's why in my limited viewings he appeared to think the game at a higher level. My hope is that he will be a lot more productive next year.
I see Schwindt as a 4th liner, that mostly tries to play a defensive game. I thought he played as well as Rooney, but when he was centering the 4th line it was underwater more often. Hopefully he can slow the game down a bit and take another step defensively.
