Pens Sign Joseph Morrow

According to Pittsburghpenguins.com, Ray Shero has signed Joseph Morrow to a 3 year entry level contract. The newly drafted defensemen’s newly minted contract won’t begin for another year or two as he will be back with his junior team, the Portland Winterhawks, for the upcoming season.

The Edmonton, Alberta native is slated to become a member of this year’s World Juniors team for Canada with a good performance at this fall’s selection camp. Morrow is pretty much a shoe-in based on his performance in the WHL last year and will surely make his hometown proud as the tournament will be hosted by both Edmonton and Calgary.

The 18 year old was selected 23rd overall at this year’s NHL entry draft.
