Ok maybe not the best, but this is what was written

Sportlogiq’s data affirms the eye test with Ferland grading as one of the league’s better forwards at receiving and firing pucks from within the slot and generating second-chance scoring opportunities. This stylistic profile also helps rationalize why Ferland isn’t as effective when asked to shoulder more of the load on a third line — he’s not much of a puck carrier in transition or offensive creator on his own and thus needs to function as a secondary threat for linemates who draw most of the attention.
