| What Scouts Say | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
“Jeremy has excellent hands and a big-time shot. He
stickhandles very well, makes some clever moves in tight-going and gets
himself into position to score. His skating and acceleration are much
better when he has the puck on his stick. He has a very quick stick, is
quick to steal the puck and is reliable defensively.” "If not for Tavares, he'd be the most coveted pure
sniper in this draft. Always dangerous with the puck and can take over
and dominate in stretches. Deadly from the circles in with a lightning
quick release on an accurate shot. Comes up with timely, important goals
and wants the puck when the game is on the line. Can be contained for 57
minutes, yet can still win the game for you." "Morin is one of the most perplexing players in
this year's draft. A gifted and natural scorer with some of the softest
hands in the draft, Morin sometimes falls prey to a lack of passion
while rumored character flaws have also run rampant in the scouting
community." "Enigma. ... There's enough grey area that you're
going to have to do extra homework before you draft him." |
