Ferland will also flash amazing skills periodically, and he does it more often. And far more importantly, he isn't the idiot that Kassian is. But big, fast, great shot, punishing hits. Both of these guys are capable of being very impactful players. And I think Ferland is the more likely to get there, just because he isn't as likely to get in his own way.

I can see the similarities for sure. I just see Kassian as more of a playmaker rather than a shooter and Ferland the other way around.
It'd be pretty tough for Ferland to be as big an idiot as Kassian. He's near the top of the league in that aspect. I think Kassian has played enough games that what you see is what you get at this point.
Ferland should still have some growth potential.
