When is Ferland a noticeable player? When he is physical or when he scores. He was streaky - 2 runs where he had 8 pts in 4 and 8 pts in 6. Otherwise, meh. He had 2 G 11 A in his last 35 GP. 3 minors and one fight. That’s not what gets him noticed...

I don't think his numbers accurately reflect this assessment. The knock on Ferland for the last couple years was that he is a very streaky player, and while that is still true to a degree, he was MUCH more consistent this year. Up until 10 February he had 20 goals and 34 points in 54 games, and had only one stretch early in the season in which he went more than two games without a point. There sure were not many complaints about his level of engagement for the first 2/3 of the season. Do you think his very poor final 30 games had anything to do with his own health, or that of his centreman?
