I get that people love Kirkland, but unless it's as a 13th forward, I just don't see the logic in keeping him above Morton or forcing Pospisil into that role instead of playing him on the wing.

I don't disagree with any of this, but it is also a demonstration of the depth of the team. If Pospisil is moved to the wing for Morton or Kerins or Kirkland, you have to put another winger into the pressbox. I see only two options there - Klapka and Lomberg. I wouldn't displace either of those guys with Morton or Kerins or Kirkland which is kinda what they'd be doing. Tough choices ahead.
