I acknowledge your comment about first line minutes and your point about other situations.

When I said Ferland got first line minutes I meant he got minutes with first line players. You know, minutes playing on the top line. Not patently false, just that you are putting a different definition on top line minutes . Which is fine

I admire the effort you put in to defending Ferland. Sometimes people are the beneficiaries of their situation. Heck, Bernie Nichols, a 20 goal guy got 70 one year when Gretzky went to LA

I am not creating a sensationalistic story by saying Ferland plays well, then disappears, gets demoted to the 4th and plays a bit more focused when he gets the chance. It has happened a couple of times.
