The Philadelphia Flyers announced on Tuesday that defenseman Samuel Morin has been signed to a three-year, entry-level contract.
The Inquirer stated it is worth $4.275 million for the duration. The contract will be one that's allowed to slide and not be counted against the CBA-mandated limit of 50.
Morin, an 18-year-old native of Quebec, was taken with the 11th overall pick in this past June's draft from Rimouski of the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League.
He made his NHL debut last night in a preseason contest against the Washington Capitals, an appearance which has led CSNPhilly's Tim Panaccio and The Hockey Guys' David Strehle to already pen pieces about the potential for the gangly youngster's impact on the back line.
Morin posted four goals and 16 points with a whopping 117 penalty minutes over 46 games for the Oceanic last season, his second in juniors.
