According to general manager Chuck Fletcher, Morin's (knee) playing career is over, Jordan Hall of NBC Sports Philadelphia reports.
EDGE Analysis
Morin missed the entirety of the season after undergoing knee surgery in September, and apparently he's simply suffered too much damage to that knee to continue playing at a professional level. The 26-year-old may land a job in the Flyers' front office, but he'll finish his playing days having collected one goal through 29 NHL appearances.

Morin (knee) is out indefinitely and will not play this season, per Sam Carchidi of The Philadelphia Inquirer.
EDGE Analysis
Morin underwent knee surgery on Sept. 10. While the 26-year-old's initial timeline for recovery was 6-8 weeks, he is now not expected to return to play this season. The winger averaged 10:11 of ice time and logged one goal through 20 appearances in 2020-21.

Morin is expected to be on the shelf for 6-8 weeks after undergoing knee surgery Sept. 10, the team announced Tuesday.
EDGE Analysis
At a minimum, Morin will be unavailable until early November due to his knee problem. The Quebec native has shifted between forward and defense in recent years but may be hard-pressed to crack the lineup at either position even once given the green light to play.

Morin is dealing with an undisclosed injury that will prevent him from joining the Flyers for the beginning of training camp, Sam Carchidi of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.
EDGE Analysis
With Philadelphia having completely revamped its blue line with the additions of Ryan Ellis, Rasmus Ristolainen and Keith Yandle, any time missed by Morin for training camp won't improve his chances of making the 23-man roster. The 26-year-old Quebec native could also feature as a forward this season which could give him another opportunity to break into the lineup.

Morin agreed to terms on a one-year contract with Philadelphia on Monday.
EDGE Analysis
Morin played in a career-high 20 games this season but managed just one point and averaged a mere 10:12 of ice time. Given his limited offensive upside, Morin is unlikely to offer much in the way of fantasy value even if he becomes a full-time roster player for the Flyers this year.

EDGE Analysis
Morin and Shayne Gostisbehere will skate on the third defensive pairing in Monday's game versus the Bruins. The 25-year-old Morin has put up just one point through nine NHL appearances this year.

Morin was reassigned to Philadelphia's taxi squad Sunday, per CapFriendly.
EDGE Analysis
Morin's appeared in five straight games with the Flyers, so look for him to return to the active roster prior to Monday's game versus the Bruins. He's potted one goal in nine NHL appearances this year.

Morin was assigned to the taxi squad Tuesday, per CapFriendly.
EDGE Analysis
Morin has played in seven total games this season, and he managed to score his first NHL goal Saturday. The Flyers waived Shayne Gostisbehere on Tuesday. While it's unlikely that he's picked up off waivers, it may be a sign that Morin will continue to see more playing time moving forward.

Morin was promoted to the active roster Monday.
EDGE Analysis
Morin scored his first career goal in Saturday's win over the Rangers. It appears the 25-year-old defenseman will stay in the lineup Monday, though he's expected to skate on the third pairing if he, indeed, suits up.
