I do think we should target a player with his skillset though...and that's a fairly rare skillset. It'd definitely come down to how much Tree believes in the person, because if he believes the effort will always be there I think you take the risk with the health.

so rare that even Ferly himself can't find it some games...
don't get me wrong, i love the guy, but he was maddeningly inconsistent here... looked great for 10 games and then disappeared for 10...
the issue for me isn't the player though, its the cost in terms of both acquisition and contract versus what you get on the ice from him...
i'd be ok trading 1st and ok prospect for him with the caveat of signing him for >4.25 AVV for 5 years but any more than that is something I would pass on... No way i pay more than a 2nd for a pure rental though and that's only because i think the Flames have a real shot at being special this year... in other years, i'd pass on the rental
