Panik has definite unfulfilled scoring potential and he may be the more well-rounded player of the two at this point in their respective careers. That makes Panik more likely to be able to help the still-contending Blackhawks this season than Morin might have been, and the two have similar amounts of talent. This was a solid move by Chicago.

Morin is a goal-scorer with solid size, and he still has a lot of untapped potential as a point producer. He arguably has more pure goal-scoring upside than Panik, and the Leafs' core of slick (but mostly smallish) young playmakers can benefit from a guy like Morin, who has a nose for the net. Expect Morin to stay in the AHL for a little while as he acclimates himself with his new organization, and possibly get a call-up later this season. He may have a little more upside than Panik, so this is a good deal by still-building Toronto.

Panik and Morin are similarly-aged and similarly-talented wingers who both needed a change of scenery to get their NHL hopes back on track. That said, neither player should be on the radar for single-season fantasy leagues but both Morin and Panik should get a boost in sleeper appeal for keeper formats.
