I may be the only poster who actually remembers this, but Ferland's signing reminds me of when Pat Quinn claimed Behn Wilson off waivers in 1988. Having Wilson on the Canucks roster would have been awesome. He was a physically dominant, nuclear warhead of a defenceman, who would have filled all of his teammates with the courage they never had before. Unfortunately, he was damaged goods and ended up retiring at age 30, without ever playing a game for the Canucks. An equally sad and very similar story.
