I don't recall Treliving ever stating a "first line" RW was a need, let alone a priority this summer?

Nevertheless, I think Ferland fits very nicely on that line; the only issue with him is going to be consistency over 82 games. He adds size, speed, and finish off the rush -- he's also responsible defensively and doesn't take dumb penalties.

Iggy would sell some tickets but if you want a slow, aging RW you can look no further than Brouwer (who I bet will have a better season this year).
