1 year deal, 2 year deal...doesn't matter to me. The AAV is fair and I really want to see Ferland play a full year with the Flames to see just what kind of player we can expect long term. Before the playoffs, I was kind of "meh" about him, but he's the kind of player that all really good teams need to supplement the skilled forwards. Power, size, decent speed, decent hands, finishing ability, tenacity, big bodychecker. The ideal 3rd line forward that can play on the 2nd line in a pinch.
I'll be glad to see Ferland do this before main camp begins so that he can focus on starting the season strong.
