The lead implies that Morrison won the BCHL rookie of the year award, but the body says he was only his confererence's winner, which implies to me that he was simply a finalist for the league award. Could you ensure these two statements are consistent with each other?
His very high scoring totals with Pitt Meadows in what I presume was the BC Midget AAA league stood out on the scoring table. Is there anything about this that could be mentioned in the article body? Also, not a required addition but since I am curious, I presume he went the Junior A route so he could play in the NCAA. Did he receive any offers from WHL teams to play?
I tried doing some research on his minor hockey days, but couldn't find much detail. Because I can't say whether it was at the midget or bantam level, I didn't wanna expand on it in the prose. I could still add it and simply have something that says, "Before his junior career, Morrison played with the Ridge Meadows ... and scored x amount of points...." What do you think?

"He played on a line with fellow freshman Jason Botterill; the two went on to play together throughout their college career." - If Morrison was a sophomore, how could Botterill be a "fellow freshman"? Also, the second half of that sentence can be simplified to just "...the two played together throughout their college careers."
"Michigan's championship-winning team that year included five future NHL players – Morrison, Botterill, Blake Sloan, John Madden, Marty Turco, and Bill Muckalt." - by my count, that's six.
"Morrison was pointless in two games with Trebic, while recording seven points in five games with Pardubice." the use of "while" suggests he was playing with both teams at the same time. Perhaps chane to "but recorded seven points in five games with Pardubice"? Also, do you know if there is any reason why he left Trebic after two games?
Fixed. No idea why he left though. Elias had similar games totals with both teams, so they were moving around together.. that's all I know about it though.

"Morrison replaced Andrew Cassels as the centreman on the team's first line with wingers Markus Näslund and Todd Bertuzzi.[25] He went on to record his three best statistical seasons in the NHL while playing with Näslund and Bertuzzi." Bit redundant to mention Naslund and Bertuzzi twice in such quick succession.
"He won his hearing and was signed by the team to a two-year, US$4.6 million contract" - My personal viewpoint, but it might be more accurate to say "he won his hearing and was awarded a two-year contract" Feel free to disregard though.
"Facing elimination in game six of the opening round against the Calgary Flames, Morrison scored there minutes into the contest's third overtime session to force a seventh game." -
Aaarrrrrgh! ;)
IMO, since the SEL (and perhaps even the Czech Extraliga) is a top-level league, that Morrison played for Lingkopings should be noted in the lead and infobox
"Considered to be a replacement for Andy McDonald as the team's second-line centre, Morrison struggled in his short tenure with the Ducks." The reality of his demotion to the fourth line makes a bit of a mockery of this consideration. Perhaps reword to "While it was hoped he could be a replacement for Andy McDonald as the team's second-line centre, Morrison struggled in his short tenure with the Ducks"?
"He finished the campaign with 42 points in 74 games with the Capitals, his highest points total in three years." - don't need the second mention of "points".
The Transaction section seems superfluous given all of those points are already noted in the article body.
I suppose I have a habit of always adding this section to players' articles. I wouldn't press on the issue, but I like having it there. I think it provides a nice summary in the same way that the stats table does, even though all the single-season totals are mentioned in the prose as well.

Numerous newspaper references are missing author information, but the references themselves are all good
As usual, well written overall. Mostly nitpicks on my part, and small changes required. As such, I'm placing this article on hold. Cheers,
