Morrison was originally a fourth-round pick of the Rangers in 2015 but was traded from Los Angeles to Chicago in the Olli Maatta trade in October. The 24-year-old has split his 2021 season between the AHL and ECH, scoring three goals and two assists in six games with Rockford (AHL). He'll likely report to Syracuse (AHL).

Morrison was originally a fourth-round pick of the Rangers in 2015 before turning pro in 2019 and signing with the Kings. In his first professional season, he had 20 points (10G / 10A) in 50 AHL games but spent all of 2020 in the ECHL, where he had six goals and 13 assists (19 points) in 17 games. This is more of a salary dump for Chicago--Maatta had two years left at $4.083M AAV but the Blackhawks will retain $750K per year.
