Haha. We sure are romanticizing Ferland
He was a wildly inconsistent player that left his physical game behind on the top line, fancied himself a finesse player, went through droughts, had to be sent back to the 4th every now and again
As a top line player, he had a career year getting 71% of his time with 13 and 23, and he had 21 goals and 41 points. That’s the only time he ever hit 20 goals
Absolutely no comparison. Bennett never had more than 30 percent of his ice time with the same 2 line mates, and that was in the bottom 6 blender
Ferland did step up one year in the playoffs and people loved him for that. His top line output was nothing special .
Tre sold high on Ferly
