Well in order to bolster strength in one area (RW) you don't usually trade away your best player at that position. If we want to increase our depth at RW we should deal from a position of strength (D) for a RWer. If we trade Ferland for a RWer we still only have 1 top 6 RWer. So I don't really get the point of that. And also we lack physical top 9 players so trading Ferland doesn't make a lot of sense from that perspective either. Tkachuk and Ferland need to be retained unless you want one of the softest top 9's in the entire league.
For several reasons trading Ferland doesn't make much sense to me.
