I read that as 3.5 AAV and I almost had a heart attack. But 1.75 is fantastic
Yeah, this is what I thought too and then I came into the thread seeing people happy about it. Felt like I missed something.
Great deal for a great player.

you nailed itGood AAV and the right term IMO. As tempting as it would be to try and lock a player like Ferland up for longer, he's still a complimentary player on this team. 2 years is longer than it sounds.
If he solidifies himself as a top 6, you can give him a bigger contract when it's up. If his play plateaus at it's current level, it's still pretty good value.

starting him on the line in training camp is hardly the same as them having their top line winger
No kidding.Aside from the many games he played there last season too?
The "we'll see" means that it's not in stone either.

He is going to play on the top line with JG and Monahan because he is the best option we have. Not because he is a 'top 6' player. He could get there though if he has a strong season.
Personally I still see him as a 3rd line guy, who has a lot of facets to his game.
Yup. 15 goal/15 assist guy. Gritty 3rd line winger who can contribute a bit offensively. Playing on the top line, he could probably get 20/20.
most of his points were on the top line (the majority of which were in a 9-10 game stretch), he scored very little with "scrubs". In fact, he scored very little at all outside his initial stretch with the top line. Expecting a player to do what they have done previously is not underselling him, it's simply not projecting for a large increase which rarely happens.I think you guys are underselling him. His points were basically all 5 on 5 and that was with scrubs and minimal time on the ice.
