Yeah, but the Canucks have their own Ferland in the making and his name is Joseph Labate.

@Quantum Ferland has WAY more offensive upside. He already has 12 goals so far this year. 

Yeah, I guess that's true. I mean, we still haven't really seen what Labate can do but from the games I've seen of him with the Canucks... He plays hard and drives to the net. He just hasn't converted in his limited time in the NHL. I suspect it'll take some time for a Labate like a Ferland. But what I meant with my first post is that from a toughness perspective, Ferland might meet his match in Labate. Labate just needs some time to adjust to the NHL, much like Ferland did when he first got into the NHL a few years ago.
