Initiating the breakout, it's Ferland. He gets the puck on the side wall and it'll be off and away on (Monahan/Backlund/Bennett/Brodie/Gaudreau etc) stick pretty efficiently. I'm guessing Chiasson and Hathaway are up there but I cant say definitively. I can say you will always get a safe and
patient clear from Ferland.
Takeaways, Ferland. That one's a pretty easy win for him. You can't really even argue that one.
Pure stick work, might be Johnny, might be Ferland. It's close.
Positioning, Ferland/Gaudreau/Brouwer/Frolik/F. Hamilton/Bouma might all be up there but I'm not sure who I would pick as they bring very different things. I do have a preference towards the more tight defensive style that Ferland and Frolik play over the more shot blocky style of Brouwer/Bouma.
Puck management, probably Ferland, maybe Frolik. Maybe Chiasson/Hathaway but again I don't really know abut those two.

If you are serious, that is a weird opinion to say the least considering Frolik is way better defensively.

I am serious, and I don't think Frolik is better defensively than Ferland. He`s better offensively however.
