Yeah, I am probably in that over values Ferland camp.
I doubt any GM would see it differently than the more cynical types here. Given that, it is better to keep him.
This won't be a 'tweak' post season, IMO. First, new coaching staff.
I doubt we trade our stars, but strong secondary players like Brodie and Frolik are probably gone. For what they bring versus a kid and the premium you pay, they are not viable on this team.
IMO BT over did it on D last post season, and failed to fix RW and goalies.
That resulted in Brouwer play and Smith playing too much (with no proven backup).
So my expectation this post season is that BT get aggro to fix scoring (which he knew was a problem headed into the season) and get a strong plan B in net.
If BT fails, I will have as strong feelings about him as I do GG.
