I have no idea what you're looking at - Ferland is fast. I would argue he's very fast. One of the better skaters on the team, and clearly under-rated I guess.
Fan perception of Ferland is baffling to me. I completely understand the viewpoint that he is what he is and he will never put it all together - I get that (though I disagree).
But the tools are there on public display every night and for some reason, some fans just don't see those tools.
Seriously, the kid can fly.
And it's kind of funny that you compared him to Kassian because Kassian is actually an excellent comparison. Ferland has an almost identical tool set to Kassian, just without the idiocy and the d-bagness.
