Morrison for me. 6 pts in 10 games with Adironack. Would be the most likely to crack the Flames lineup this year amongst those still on the list. Also highly touted, right shot. A 6-7D role quite possible. More probable NHLer than Kylington or Andersson at this moment. Kylington has huge upside but still a cloud surrounds him around defensive play and ego. Next year could be a different story. For now it is Morrison for me.

"Earlier today Bob was talking about the Flames being the front runners in signing Morrison. Regarded as one of the more exceptional players available, this will potentially help the depth issues on the blueline, especially as the Flames don't have the strongest prospect pool at defense. Ryan Lambert had some praise for the young defender, mentioning he was strong in shot generation with 105 attempts in 37 games." Matchsticks and Gasoline



"Kenney Morrison had an optional practice and two morning skates to learn everything he could about the Adirondack Flames. So, not a lot.
But it must have been enough for the defenseman out of Western Michigan University. He scored three points in his first professional game, including his first goal.
Morrison downplayed it all as lucky bounces.
"It's definitely good to come in and contribute right away," Morrison said. "You don't have that pressure later on in the year."
The not-even-rookie beat Tyler Bunz blocker-side in the second period for his first professional goal. Morrison tallied the secondary assists on Ben Hanowski's goal in the first period and David Wolf's empty-netter in the third.
Morrison got in on the power play in his first game. Coach Ryan Huska thinks it's important to get him ice time so he feels comfortable.
"He looked really good tonight," Huska said. "We're kinda excited about what he's going to bring in these last 10 games for us."" The Post Star
