I went Ferland over Ortio here. His impact in the playoffs can't be ignored. I agree with others that wonder if he can do that for a full season, but bottom line the Flames found a guy that can get under the opposition skin, and still be productive - so very valuable.
The interesting thing about Ferland is the fact that we really haven't seen him drop the mitts much yet at the NHL level, he's going to surprise the first person that grabs him this season. Bieksa was lucky he didn't get free.
