To the reasonable person, it should not be about that. The rest of the season for Morin, should be to get him into some games. Not most. But some. Maybe have the goal of getting him into 10-12 games. We have 4 back to backs after this weekend, so that should be 4 games played, 4 NOT played. Ease him back in and just get him minutes. Let him gain his confidence back. Get his "game legs" back. And most importantly, COACH him on what he is doing right and wrong so he can take lessons with him into the next game.
To me, it's not about being better than anyone this year. Just let him play and start next year as the #6/#7 next year.
