I haven’t read every post in this thread, but Ferland had a very unique skill set:
-dangerous perimeter shot, soft hands in close.
-injuring key opponents with LEGAL hard hits. NHL elite heaviness.
-swing for the fences approach in fights which is universally intimidating (and very rare modern NHL commodity)
-no signs of ego or entitlement.
I hope Ferland carves out a long journeyman career on his skill set, toughness, and maturity as an example for underprivileged kids seeking positive role models. I’ll continue to cheer for him.
