I've seen him address his quickness to keep up to NHL speed, but nothing more than that. It's an accomplishment in and of itself for someone his side to get where he has.
My god, anything short of a homer-esque blind compliment and you're pinned to the wall around here. I'm a FAN of Ferland, I just won't call him a blazer because he simply isn't.

Oh, a scouting report from several years ago. Okay then. Draisaitl says hi.
Some guys actually work on, and improve their skating. Ferland is fast.
And saying something positive (that is true) about a player does not make you homer-esque. It is okay to disagree without pulling garbage (non) arguments like that out.
