I know Ferland has become the it thing here and around the league as of late, but I have a couple concerns. Firstly, concussion history, and with the playoffs being what it is, can he be the same player from 4 years ago? He's obviously not old, but he seemed bulkier in the past couple seasons. Every year at the deadline someone is the flavor of the month and this year it appears to be him. I have no problem with him as a human, but really am concerned about his playing ability with the concussion history. If we enter the playoffs with this roster intact I'd be fine with it. Neal will be fine in the playoffs. Maybe an addition like Justin Williams would be nice. Smith is my only real concern but it doesn't sound like that will be changed until the off-season.
