You can sure tell Ferland was rusty as heck from sitting around all year.
First 4 games with Brandon - 1 goal, 1 assist
First 7 games with Blades - 1 goal, 2 assists
Last 6 games with Blades - 6 goals, 7 assists (including tonight, 6 game point streak)
I sure hope this kid comes to camp ready to go next year, and at the very least earns and keeps a full time gig with the Heat. Size, toughness, and the ability to score. We need a kid like that to develop into an effective NHLer.
