Ferland's skill is severely underrated. I don't think he has hit his career high.
i think most NHL execs would take Lindholm over Ferland because like Peters says, Lindholm touches so many parts of the game.
Lindholm is much more consistent a player but I think Ferland has the higher skill when it comes to offense.
Flames fans who hate the trade keep overlooking the player control aspect. Ferland is UFA next season. Lindholm will be under multi year control. The hats the big thing for me that tips it in favour for the Flames, they get more controlled asset at a premium position.
I selfishly hope Ferland doesn't like it in Carolina and signs back in Cakgary next summer.
