Raymond is a high boards guy on the PP (I know people don't like him on the PP but Ferland wouldn't be the replacement at that spot anyway). If Ferland would ever be inserted onto a powerplay unit, he'd be a down low/net front guy and go instead of Jones, Bennett or Colborne. I don't see him over any of those three guys at the moment (or Bennett ever).

Can't say I put much weight in historical Raymond or whatever you call last year from Jooris. Ferland can win offensive puck battles and has a solid forecheck and seems to be in the right place at the right time. That's already better than the other two. And I'm not sure if they are much faster.
Sure they play different roles on the PP but would rather see Ferland out there than Raymond. Ideally neither get much time though.
Can't say I expect any of them to score much on the fourth line, I'd rather the 4th line have a strong forecheck.
