It could if Ferly goes to free agency and signs with another team next year. And if Fox does not want to go to Raleigh, Carolina would be left with Dougie who I don't think is as good as everyone thinks he is. He's a good D-man and has the potential to be great, I just don't think its in his DNA. In the end he'll be another Bouwmeester.
This is such a stupid GM move if it happens. I've stated before that what Pittsburgh paid for Reeves, Ferland should be able to match or exceed. Ferland would be a scary guy to play beside a guy like Crosby. I'd imagine Ferland could build the chemistry he had with Kunitz/Crosby, but more.
IMO, Ferland SHOULD be traded at the TDL irregardless of what is going on in Carolina. Whether he goes back to Carolina in the end is a different story, but Ferland should garner top dollar at the TDL if healthy due to his cap hit and abilities. He'd easily be an excellent player choice to help a team get over a hump due to his flexibility and I think he'd flourish in a middle 6 role with a team with ridiculous depth.
