He had not yet suited up for Chicago this year, when a draft day trade brought him to Boston on May 28. The Cannons acquired an extra first-round pick earlier in the day, when they unloaded upstate New York native Brett Bucktooth – who also wanted to play closer to home – to Rochester. That pick was then shipped to Chicago for Morris.
