Honestly, Morrow is maturing right in front of us. I didn't particularly get pairing him with Ghost, but it's working. Maybe it's just that Ghost is so good at picking his spots to go into his bag of tricky offensive moves that it's giving Morrow a few clues on when to take chances and when to be careful. I'd love to see him get better at closing his gap after the opponents gain the zone, but that's a feel thing that needs time. You can get away with dangling in the half space in the A, but not against NHL forwards.
Same curve as Chatfield I hope.

Wildly different tool boxes, but yeah ... very steep, very visible learning curves in both cases. Much more so than guys like Slavin and Pesce who came in as rookies with a good grasp of defensive principles, and they pick things up much quicker than guys like Hanifin and Fleury who were stubborn about new concepts. Being coachable is a talent in and of itself.
