Is Lindholm + Pelusso >> Ferland + Jankowski?
The Oilers having Lucic make the Flames a worse team as they will be dressing Pelusso against the Oilers.
Who was Gaudreau intimidated by on the Blues lineup? Marroon? Edmundson? The Blues did not dress anyone that Peluso could have a staged fight.

Sure but Ferland was never .. honestly never a deterrent. Even in that Vancouver series he just hit guys, he wasn't keeping people in line in any way shape or form.
His inconsistency in scoring was more than matched by his inconsistency in physical play.
Lindholm + Pelusso <> Ferland@10% + Jankowski
But I'm honestly not on the deterrent is needed side. I don't see it. I do think some players have told Treliving it's important though.
