Kobayashi Maru Posted June 5, 2020 Share Posted June 5, 2020 So let’s assume that Leivo and Ferland are cleared to play. Hard to know what to do even. I would think: Miller Pettersson Toffoli Pearson Horvat Boeser Ferland Gaudette Virtanen Sutter Beagle Motte Roussel MacEwan Leivo Even that fifth line is good. Personally I think I may put MacEwen or Roussel in for Sutter. So many options when fully healthy. We could make quite the run. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PhillipBlunt Posted July 3, 2020 Share Posted July 3, 2020 According to Rick Dhaliwal’s Twitter account: Michael Ferland's agent Jason Davidson : He has been working out, he is headed to Vancouver today and will land there today. Davidson on Ferland : Is he going to drop the gloves for no reason, no he is not but I still expect him to play a heavy game." 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tre Mac Posted July 3, 2020 Share Posted July 3, 2020 I don't see much of a future in the NHL for a neutered Ferland tbh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What made Ferland special was his ability to play a heavy physical game while still being able to put the puck in the net. Take away the physicality, I think we have better and cheaper options. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhillipBlunt Posted July 3, 2020 Share Posted July 3, 2020 I think his agent is saying that he’ll continue to play a heavy game. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

-AJ- Posted July 3, 2020 Share Posted July 3, 2020 I would expect his agent would have good reason to assure us that his client is healthy and will continue to play, so there's likely some inherent bias in his comments. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His last issue was from a fistfight with Kyle Clifford, I believe. Actually, that was his third last concussion...and it was a fight in which he didn't even take any shots to the head. His sustained his second last concussion from throwing a few good hits in a game after that (without receiving any himself), and his last concussion after skating for a few shifts in a game in Utica.

Bell Posted July 4, 2020 Share Posted July 4, 2020 I hated Ferland when he pounded us in the playoffs, now as a canuck, I hope they aren't risking this young man's future well being. Saying that, if he is healthy and ready to go, Minny is gonna get curb stomped. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes the fight with Clifford was even and put the jar and head moving fast would affect is concussion problem..I sure hope Ferland is healthy with no more issues.. Lets keep fingers crossed as Ferland would add lots of fear to other teams defence and add the respect from other team if he is healthy.. GO Ferland Go 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But if it becomes detrimental to his health for the rest of his life. I'd rather he shy away from the physicality. I want this team to win, but not if it costs a player his health for the rest of his life. Concussions are scary and they linger forever if you get bumped enough. But if he can come back and bring some of that physicality and not suffer any more head trauma then we're gonna be a really scary team come playoffs.

I was excited too, but now I know I'm just going to be nervous anytime he throws (or absorbs) a big hit -- always waiting for the next concussion. It's going to take awhile to get comfortable with him playing physical again, both for him and for us. Here's to hoping he can actually do it.
