I actually don't think there's much that separates Ferland from Jooris in that they are good depth players but not difference makers. He's going to need to be a lot better next year to secure a permanent roster spot IMO.

I think Ferland needs to work on his shot accuracy.
He stickhandles well to get out of corners and make passes and has good success in making that first move to give himself some space to shoot. He also has a relatively quick release and good velocity from what I can see.
In all, he's thinking the right things offensively and has an instinct. In that respect, he's ahead of Jooris. I don't think Jooris has much offensive instinct or awareness; rather, he works hard to try and generate chances by brute force a la Bouma. Ideally, we don't need both of Bouma or Jooris.
