Why does everyone want to trade Ferland? At the end of his third full season in the NHL he is over .5 ppg, has just scored 20 goals, has improved every single year, and has the ability to dominate games physically.
Last year all everyone wanted was a guy who could play with Johnny and Monny and put up 40-50 points Ferland has done that and we probably haven't even seen the best of him yet. But people are super quick to ship him off in any package for a mediocre return.
He was on pace for 35 goals at one point this year, but with Monny's injury and the whole team crumbling he never reached that. If he improves again next year, like he has every year, and the team doesn't crumble why can't he produce at that pace again?
