For sure, but my counter would be that anecdotally it seemed Ferland seemed to pack it in when he was demoted below the top six.
He tried hard on the first line until a certain number of games, then had a noticeable drop in effort. But actually dropped significantly in the line-up he just didn't put in a satisfactory effort, imo. And if brought back I don't see him getting top six minutes anymore.
