Maybe someone can do some 'splainin'.

For the record, I voted Ferland.
I disagree, a bunch of places ranked him as a 3rd rounder. The ISS reports his skating as average and that he has good hockey sense. He has already proven that he is dedicated and can show up to camp in shape (something Ferland is questioned on). I agree Ferland is a type of player that is hard to get, but he isn't even close to achieving that. He has a long way to go and IMO he is the longest shot to develop into an NHLer.
