At least trying Morton is interesting.
But they can never resist Hunt.
The same overriding issue persists in all of this though, regardless of who it is: No one is left in the same spot long enough to do anything with it or find traction. And they won't address the numbers issue by making some trades or waiver wire placements to create the space for these kids to take a more stable role.
In the end, no questions are answered because no one is given an audition that's long enough to form a conclusion about what we have.

Hunt hasn't played a single game this year. Last year he played 5, same as Kerins and Honzek, way less than Coronato, Pelletier, Klapka, Zary, Duehr and Pospisil (all younger forwards and I'm not even counting Farabee and Frost). He did get in 28 games in 23-24 (still less than 20 year old Coronato and 21 year old Zary - Pelletier got hurt).
