Scott Morrow Opens Up On Being Cut From The Rangers Ahead Of Opening-Night
Throughout training camp, Morrow was given the same opportunity to thrive and prove that he earns a spot on the New York Rangers roster for the 2025-26 season. However, despite several good looks during the preseason, Morrow was ultimately sent down to the AHL.
Resulting in the 22-year old to reflect on his performance throughout the preseason, Morrow revealed that he was pleased with some aspects of him game, but openly admitted he could've done better.
«My performance I would say was pretty solid. I think I have a higher level of offense I could bring maybe than what I showed in training camp, although I thought I did a solid job on a power play when I got those opportunities,» Morrow said.
«I think I could push myself to create a little bit more. As a younger defenseman in the NHL, your first responsibility is to defend, so that's what's going to get me here, so I need to focus on that just as much, if not more. I would say I had a pretty solid training camp. I think I showed well and showed my skill set, but I have a higher level to reach.»
