I get the feeling that he is going to be a real POS to play against. And I would rather have that on the Flames then their opponents.

And let's be honest, we don't have that on the current Flames roster.
Ferland was briefly but has kind of faded since his big debut. Bennett has grit to his game but he doesn't go out of his way to get in guys faces.
If Tkachuk can play at an NHL level this season we could really use that guy who gets under opponents skin and takes them off their game.
Besides Ferland vs Vancouver the last time a player did that was Akim Aliu and it was surprisingly effective in the 2-3 games he played. If I recall correctly he pissed off the whole Anaheim Ducks team pretty much and threw off their big guys cause he had them fuming. We could use that again.
