Ferland fights occasionally but I think the concussions he suffered early in his career coupled with the shoulder problems he's had leaves him picking his spots a lot more. The team would be wise to find bigger physical players in FA. Not popular but this is probably why they were sniffing around Zack Smith and Evander Kane (add some scoring to the snarl). Neither are super aggressive necessarily but they do finish their checks at every opportunity. I also think they look at (and this will be very unpopular) Patrick Maroon.
