Brett Morrison, C, Prince Edward Island Rocket (QMJHL) 5th Round, 151st overall
With their final pick in the 2007 NHL Entry Draft, Anaheim selected 19-year-old center Brett Morrison. After playing the first two years of his QMJHL career with the Gatineau Olympiques, Morrison was dealt to the PEI Rocket in the middle of the 2006-07 season. In total, he played in 64 games, scoring 35 goals and finishing with 90 points. He followed that performance with a seven-game appearance in the playoffs, scoring eight goals and finishing with 16 points, as PEI was eliminated by the Acadie-Bathurst Titan in the first round.
Although plenty talented, the main thing that has held Morrison back to date has been his lack of size. Listed at 5'10 and 178 pounds, the Sydney, Nova Scotia native may not have sufficient skill to overcome this knock against him and play on a scoring line in the NHL. A wizard in the faceoff circle, Morrison will need to improve his skating as he continues to develop. He was invited to Edmonton's training camp last fall and he could be signed and playing in the Ducks minor pro system this fall, although it is just as likely that he will return as an over-ager to the QMJHL.
