Not much to say in regards to the Flames, so may as well mention Ferland.
Started the year in Utah, and worked his way to the Heat, only to get sent down to junior. And traded after just two games with the WheatKings! Now it seems he has found a home with the Saskatoon Blades.
Ferland had 3 assists last night, and is riding an 8 game point streak of 18 points. (6G,12A)
The Blades are red hot winning 8 in a row, and have near NHL attendance numbers at games. Almost 13,000 last night, They host the Memorial Cup this year as well...
Could be interesting! Go Ferland!

I think he is in a good place. He is on a team where he will get lots of icetime.
He wasn't going to get that with the Heat. It wasn't a demotion to the Wheatkings it was a development decision. Saskatoon offers some post season play for him and they really needed a player of his abilities. 9-1-0-0
<Insert really good fit> and should be worth keeping track of him.

Really good fit.
He'll be in the AHL next year, and he'll have a whole lot more experience behind him.
I think what we'd all like is to see if he can translate some of his offensive skills to the AHL level.
That won't happen on the fourth line with minutes. But it could happen next year.

And just to be clear:
-Ferland asked to be sent back to the WHL.
-He knew Brandon would trade him to a contender.
-He still needs time to increase muscle mass.
He also needs to dedicate himself alot more to offseason work ethic. this has nothing to do with his "incident" either he just is not known for showing up in camp in the best of shape...
NO question the dub is where he should be but the Flames need alot more out of Ferland to have him keep moving up.

This link/site makes it sound likes he couldn't handle the ahl at all. He had a good first game in the memorial cup this year and has decent numbers - although an overager. Hope to see him grow up and make flames some day.
