Morrow, 34, was picked by the Dallas Stars in the first round of the 1997 NHL draft, he was picked 25th overall in the draft. He's been playing in the NHL since 1999-2000. All of his seasons were with the Stars, up until he was traded around the trade deadline to the Pittsburgh Penguins. Yes, Morrow's best days as a 20-30 goal scorer, could be behind him. But, he might able to add some scoring. And he'll add some leadership to the team, who was a captain on the Stars. Last season, Morrow scored 12 goals, with 13 assists. Can Morrow score 10-15 goals with the Blues? I guess we all will find out during the season, I see him scoring around there, if he can stay healthy.
He also use to kill the Blues a lot in games, when he was playing against the Blues. So having him on the team, is better than having him playing against us.
Morrow's career stats: 850 games played, 249 goals, 293 assists, 542 points, and is a plus 107. In the playoffs he's played 92 games, 19 goals, 27 assists, 46 points, and is a plus 2.
His best season in the NHL was back in 07-08, when he scored 32 goals, with 42 assists .... which were good for a total of 74 points on the season.
All in all, it seems like a good move for the Blues and for Morrow. Now it's time for Morrow to show us that it's a good move for both sides. Morrow knows Blues head coach Ken Hitchcock and GM Doug Armstrong all from the Dallas Stars. And he knows current Blues center Derek Roy, who played for the Stars some last season, before being traded to the Vancouver Canucks.
Welcome Morrow to the St. Louis Blues!
