Why do you think half the league wants to trade for him? Even teams out of a playoff spot are interested

Ferland is super inconsistent and you never know what you are going to get from him. He hasn't gotten better at the things he was doing well in that series. and I would say he has changed his game away from that style since then as he has become more of a goal scorer. so yes as a hockey player he has gotten better but I don't think that necessarily means he would be more effective now than he was then, and I think he's actually stopped doing a lot of those things. There were multiple games last season where ferland didnt even throw a real body check.
Also seems that this year he has been frequently injured and dealing with a bunch of things and that doesn't bode well.
Let him go to someone else's team where they can overpay for a guy who will be good for 10 games and awful for 15.
