Agostino is much smaller, older and has played a couple NHL games. He might have more skill than Ferland but also less NHL ability/assets than Ferland.
The comparison is in fact laughable.
At the start of the season Ferland himself mentioned that he can't play like playoff form an entire regular season. You can't be that physical and expect to stay healthy even half the season. But I guarantee you that next playoffs he's in, we see the Ferkland that we know and love. Every team needs these players to go on long runs. Bryan Bickell is probably an apt comparison.
That said, a 2nd + Ferland for Drouin sounds pretty tempting. I hope Treliving can work some magic and snag him without giving up an essential piece.
