About 3/4 of that team also shut down. And then it happened to finish off this season and into the playoffs.
Plus, it does contradict what Treliving said about Ferland post-trade. Didn't say much about Hamilton, which I thought was interesting since he was the 'big name' in that trade, but Treliving seemed to go out of his way to be complimentary of Ferland. Called him a warrior for this club, and that he will be missed. I didn't catch the Gaudreau tweet to Hamilton saying he was going to be missed, but I did see the one to Ferland. Maybe I just missed it, but it is also a big plus bringing a guy in who is already popular in the room.
