The 2021 second-round pick played in 16 regular-season games for the Hurricanes over two seasons and was even entrusted with playing in 5 playoff games for Carolina last year. Morrow admitted that he was surprised when he heard the news of the trade. “I would say a surprise,” Morrow said of the trade. “I obviously didn’t hear anything about it beforehand, but the first emotion is when you hear the New York Rangers, it’s a very special organization. “I’m from around here, and it would mean a lot to have success here. It was obviously super cool. A little bit of disappointment leaving Carolina because it’s such a great organization, but I’m super pumped to be here, and it is definitely more exciting.” The 22-year-old defenseman will compete to earn a spot on the Rangers’ opening-night roster.
