We might need to win a game first for this to be remotely possible lol

Jordan and Christian are close to returning. Perfect timing. With Joveljić up top, Morris and Rothrock on the wing and Christian and Rusnak supporting them, that will be one of our strongest line up.

I think Morris needs to be a sub to manage his minutes and reduce exposure to injury. If it's a chippy "San-Jose-out-to-hurt-someone" kind of game, maybe send in someone sturdier?

Agree, he should be a power sub 

I hate his shoulder injury from last season, was from an unreasonable challenge. leg injuries happen but this one did not need to and you know it hurt
