Ferland is just too much of an offensive passenger to be a good top 6 option.
You'll never be a winning team if Ferland is your go to guy.

Their go-to guys for scoring are Pettersen and Boeser, which looks to be damn solid combo for many years. Ferland is not being paid to be a go-to guy. It's a very good signing, not unlike Frolik was for us. It's the high-end UFA deals like Ericksson for the Canucks, and Neal for us that are the real problems. How much would you rather have Ferland for 4 years at 3.5 than Neal for 4 years at 5.75?
