2011 Round 1 - Penguins Draft D Joe Morrow

The Pens took defenseman Joe Morrow from the Portland Winterhawks in the WHL.

Here's the draft prospect card from nhl.com.

He's an excellent skater, but probably needs some time to fill out. That's not a problem for the Pens, as they have 5 of their top 7 defensemen under contract for the next three seasons, and that's without Simon Despres being in the picture yet (or any of the other guys in the AHL for that matter).

Interesting how Ray Shero and the Pens continue to stock up on the blue line prospects.
