Too bad he didn't work out. This kid could shoot, and aside from being over-weight was also a bit stocky and would go to the corners.
He was a project, and sometimes these projects don't work out. Great hands, but didn't have the work-ethic to make it as a pro. Lots of kids can't make the leap into the pro ranks exactly because of this.
Ferland has seemingly got his stuff together, and I can't wait to see him later. Hopefully he is in shape and has realized what it takes to become a pro.
Best of luck Howse.
