It's funny - watching AC's "Part 2" highlight package (thank you thank you thank you, AC!!) -> something funny kinda occurred to me.

You always hear that skilled guys can use a physical guy on their line to "make space for them". I think even right now we'd widely consider Ferland's physicality a great bonus to his line-mates Johnny and Sean.

HOWEVER -> actually watching those highlights I'm not so sure it's not Ferland getting the extra space out there. Now maybe her earns it himself...but I think other team's are at a loss with those three out there. Watch the shifty / skilled guy? Keep an eye on the sniping 200' center? Play tight against the big guy who could hurt you? It's a tough decision and I think in a lot of those highlights Ferland is afforded space and once he decided to start shooting it -> BOOM!
