When I read through this thread and think about how the hype of bringing in Brouwer and Ferlund finally progressing to the top line after Brouwer crapped the bed I want to see Ferlund do something in training camp to wake the coaches up.
Like .... Beat the tar out of people ( Brouwer )until he's put and kept on that top line, 1st power play unit and ask GG and co is this what you wanna see.
There were so many times Brouwer was sucking the life out of the team where Ferlund would have excelled.
The only thing he needs to work on allot to be more well rounded is face offs.
I really think we have yet to see the best in Ferlund and also see him being held back and I truly hope this up coming season we see Ferlund pushed and played in more minutes.
They said he worked on foot speed last offseason and he did look quicker.
I'd say he was more disciplined as well.
Ferlunds Ascension is no where near complete and when he is finally used and trusted in the right manner that confidence will come thru in an elevation I don't think anyone expects.
Can't wait to see what's in store for us next year.
