Glad to see Ferland up here as well. My guess as to why he got recalled - he didn't look good after that dirty head by Volchenkov. Seems to be playing well now. I think based on his first call-up, he didn't get a real chance. Hopefully he is at 100% and can do his best to impress the organization.
Poirier is going to be very helpful in this eastern swing. Flames can really use his speed.

That's a junior thing. Being in the AHL doesn't cause anything to slide.
Edit** The above is completely wrong! I am dumb!
