Ferland is going to be more than just a physical presence on this team. Every game I see a flash of something different from him, be it a toe drag, between the legs deke, power move on net, a dangerous wrister. I really think his battle with alchohol has really hampered his development, he missed out on critical amount of time, but he clearly has a large set of tools and I think he's going to start figuring out how to use all of them every night, consistently. I honestly feel he has the potential to be a second line power forward on this team in the coming years
As for Bollig, I think Engelland does a better job than him in everything he was brought in to do. He's a spare part at this point and I would rather a younger guy like Hathaway push him out of a spot
