I don't expect Ferland to be as aggressive once he gets established, but breaking into the league, he needs to set some perimeters.

Even
more detective work shows that Poirier was 18 in his third year while Ferland was 19 in his.
At 19 Poirier made the jump to the AHL and had 19 goals and 42 points (after missing training camp and having shoulder surgery).
At 19 Ferland was putting up impressive number in the WHL
At 20 Poirier will be pushing for a spot on the Flames or going into his 2nd season in the AHL
At 20 Ferland couldn't stick in the AHL or ECHL and got sent back to the WHL as an overaged player.
