if he is healthy then it does solve a top 6 issue for us, I do like the idea of Pearson-Bo-Ferkie as a 2nd line, and if Hoglander makes the team Bo-Ferkie is a pretty good line to begin your career on.
Ferland would actually put us over the cap if he were healthy. We would need to trade Baertschi or Sutter to fit Virtanen and Gaudette under the cap. Probably be easiest to try and trade Sutter at 50% retained.
