Heck, I would love if Ferland develops into a CONTROLLABLE version of Chris Simon in his prime. Scary dude who can pot in 30 goals?
There is no other prospect in the entire system that compares to him. I would say (without looking too hard) that there are few prospects like him anywhere. There are some guys that are tough and can pot it in the net, but Ferland is VERY tough, and he has VERY good scoring hands. Last guy really was Lucic. There must be a few more that I just can't think of.
And no, please don't say Kassian. Zach Kassian is going to wish he was Michael Ferland. Ferland has high-hockey IQ, and it is very evident that Kassian does not. I absolutely hate that comparison Feaster threw out there.
