(Of course even most starters are just average, but Ortio does have the potential to be more than that.)
Personally I don't see
that much skill in Ferland, and the type of physical game he played against the Canucks is IMO impossible to bring consistently without wrecking yourself.
I like the guy and I think he can be an important depth player, but I'm not expecting more than that.
I'll still probably vote for him next, because he's so likely to solidify his position next season.
