Etienne Morin was already daydreaming of eventually saucering passes to star forward Jonathan Huberdeau.Just a few weeks after Morin was selected by the Calgary Flames in the second round of the 2023 NHL Draft, Huberdeau reached out to ask the 18-year-old defenceman from Salaberry-de-Valleyfield, Que., if he’d be able to spare for his summer-league squad.“I had a car problem at that time, so I wasn’t sure if I was able to drive there,” Morin said.
“It’s crazy to think that I was watching just a couple of years ago and now I’m actually playing with him and he knows my name,” Morin beamed. “Just to think about this is crazy. But at the end of the day, I’m now drafted in the NHL and I want to prove to everyone that I have my place here.” “I just want to show the team what I can do,” Morin told Postmedia before departing for Penticton. “My goal out here is to show them I’m reliable defensively but also offensively. I want to show that I’m a team guy and a hard-working guy.”
