Really cool story Vulcan thanks for that.

I would be interested to see where Ferlands skating is at now, because last year in Saskatoon it was just simply not good. I know a few of the people on the Blades training staff and they told me that they had never seen a player more determined to improve than Ferland. After his slow start this year I was pretty worried, but it seems like he has turned it around with that hot play on Jones' line.

I really doubt that his foot speed will ever be good enough for top 6 minutes in the NHL though. At least not on a playoff caliber team. Either way from my interactions with this kid he has a great head on his shoulders and is very humble, while aware of his gifts (size, grit, toughness). If he keeps using them right you never know.
