[Video] Ferland 15/16 Highlights

[StrykerSteve]

Probably my favourite highlight package of this season, well done AC. Hockey's more than just scoring goals and this one does a good job of showing that. The kid is a beast, hits like a truck and can make quick moves better than many of the guys on this team. This was a rookie season we're talking about here, I see nothing but potential in him.

Can't wait to see how he does next season.

Great video. Could hit 12-15 goals with some puck luck and some emptynetters with an actual lead. Does so many subtle things so well even if the results didn't roll in his favour.

in terms of underlying numbers and driving possession, ferland was actually one of our most effective forwards. he does so many things well. he is a prototype of a great modern day middle 6 forward - fast, physical, and keeps the play in the offensive end most of the time. he's also tough as nails to boot and has shown the skill to be more. i tend to think it's players like him who will win you games, rather than guys like bouma who chase the play in their own zone whenever they're on the ice has to block tons of shots. i also appreciate his story and all he's done to make the nhl. really rooting for him.

as a side story, he and some of his family showed up at an out door rink i was at this winter. really nice, humble guy. he was playing with the wrong handed stick and i couldn't even touch the puck

He's still young and he lost a fair amount of development time because of his addiction, we need to remember that. He's shown numerous of times that he has the tools and it's only a matter of time before he finally puts it all together. Do I expect him to become a legitimate second liner? Probably not, but I still feel the potential is there

I like play more than Bouma's lately (Though that's not his fault). Hopefully he has a full healthy season and turns it around too

I'm a big Ferland fan. Love watching him, just hope he can put up some points in the future and stays injury free. That's part of the problem with physical players, they need to stay injury free while dosing it out which can end up with them picking their spots and not being consistently effective.

God I hope Ferland breaks out this year

I'd like to see him get a bit of confidence going early on this season. He has the skill, physicality and thinks the game at a high level.

If he can get a bit of puck luck early on I think it will help carry him to a new level this year. I still remember that stretch he had in the AHL a couple of seasons ago where he had 17 points in 12 games so the guy can produce he just needs to show it in the NHL.

Just in case you weren't fired up about the upcoming season...
