Unless Tuulola really comes out of nowhere we have no upcoming young players who bring what Ferland, Tkachuk and Bennett bring.
Even though Ferland is a complimentary powerforward, I think he’s a pretty important piece to retain. Hopefully we’re resigning him.

Well that depends on how the roster is built this year. How much cap space will be needed to re-sign the more important player in Tkachuk.
How good of a season does Ferland have, he can easily price himself out of the market. All those points were brought up on the fan. The make a better argument than I can right now.
