Yeah, Gulutzan is a strong supporter of handedness and its importance in game situations. I don't think it's likely for Ferland to play in Brouwer's place on the top unit. Same reason Brodie, despite his success playing in the RD spot for so many seasons will not likely play there again as long as Gulutzan is coach.
