I think there is a core disagreement over whether or not Ferland is indeed a young developing power forward, or a guy that will top out on the bottom 6. 
I view him as the latter, but recognize he is a tough guy to project. I haven't seen enough from him to show me he has the offensive instincts to be any more than a grinder.
