Dustin Brown who made $6.5M last year. Ferland makes $1.75M.
Ferland is really getting thrown under the bus now that hes traded.
There really aren't many players like him in the NHL and nobody actually knows what his ceiling may be.

Ferland was a terrific player for us and his potential is still huge, but his game is very jekyll and hyde at times. He scored almost 20 goals in the first half and then just 2-3 in the second half of the season. Defensively, he’s still a major work in progress and the fact that he was a UFA next year, I’m not surprised we moved him. We’ll certainly miss him, but who knows, maybe we can try to re-sign him next summer.
