Morton is 26 years old this month.
He's a 4th line centre on a non-contender at best.
He's likely going to see most of his time in the AHL pending injuries, and a guy that likely easily passes through waivers.
That's not to say there is zero chance that he could carve out an NHL career, there is always a chance.
He does a number of things OK, so is the composite tweener. But a number of tweeners, given a good opportunity, sometime stick in the NHL for multiple years.
He may well get his chance this year.
