According to general manager Chuck Fletcher, Morin's (knee) playing career is over, Jordan Hall of NBC Sports Philadelphia reports.
Morin missed the entirety of the season after undergoing knee surgery in September, and apparently he's simply suffered too much damage to that knee to continue playing at a professional level. The 26-year-old may land a job in the Flyers' front office, but he'll finish his playing days having collected one goal through 29 NHL appearances.

Morin is expected to be on the shelf for 6-8 weeks after undergoing knee surgery Sept. 10, the team announced Tuesday.

Flyers' Samuel Morin: Will miss start of camp
Rotowire
Morin is dealing with an undisclosed injury that will prevent him from joining the Flyers for the beginning of training camp, Sam Carchidi of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.
With Philadelphia having completely revamped its blue line with the additions of Ryan Ellis, Rasmus Ristolainen and Keith Yandle, any time missed by Morin for training camp won't improve his chances of making the 23-man roster. The 26-year-old Quebec native could also feature as a forward this season, which could give him another opportunity to break into the lineup.

Flyers' Samuel Morin: Pens one-year deal
Rotowire
Morin agreed to terms on a one-year contract with Philadelphia on Monday.
Morin played in a career-high 20 games last season but managed just one point and averaged a mere 10:12 of ice time. Given his limited offensive upside, Morin is unlikely to offer much in the way of fantasy value even if he becomes a full-time roster player for the Flyers this year.

Flyers' Samuel Morin: First career goal a game-winner
Rotowire
Morin scored the game-winning goal in Saturday's 2-1 victory over the Rangers,
The 25-year-old had zero points in 14 career NHL games coming into Saturday, but Morin made his first tally count by beating Igor Shesterkin with less than five minutes left in the third period to break a 1-1 tie. The 11th overall pick in the 2013 draft has never lived up to that pedigree even at the AHL level, in large part due to injuries, but he's still only 25 years old and could be ready to start earning a consistent spot in the Philly lineup.
