Ferland was dropped from top line and Jagr was playing up thet before Jagr injury number 1.
Ferland also really dogged it the last 2 calender months of the year. I know he had an injury there but his history of disappearing isn't good.
He's not a top line winger by far, and isn't really a for anywhere else.
He'd have been gone a year ago had he not had a hot streak when forced on the top line two seasons ago because he was silent for a year and a half after the Vancouver playoff series.
And if Fox wasn't 100% likely to sign, which didn't seem the case, cut bait.
The fact that our new coach also had these guys and they know him and he knows them, is not to be overlooked.
