I think this is a good signing by Benning. 3.5M is a VERY fair number for Ferland and an extra year is what was needed to ensure he signed with the Canucks as multiple teams were offering the same for a year less. If he produces second line numbers, it's a steal for 3.5M. If he goes pointless for a stretch of games before going on one of his streaks again, only to go on an extended skid again, it's still a reasonable return for 3.5M. His inconsistency seems to be accounted for in the cap hit.
