Giving Ferland 4 years was super dumb at the time. Good for him cashing in on a GM that is known to give out long term contracts to bottom six players.
Peak Canucks pessimism right here...Starting to wonder if he signed knowing this is what was going to happen. And I wouldn’t blame him one bit
I think a lot of people would for 14M USDPeak Canucks pessimism right here...
Like, term is injury assurance if you're an agent, sure, but come on man. Nobody signs a real contract thinking "my career is done". If he truly thought his career was over and his future was in jeopardy, he wouldn't have risked playing a single period.
Another in a long line of immediate flop high term high $$ UFA signings.
bad signing from the beginning the warning signs were there. ferland is done for the year and hockey itself. Life/family is more important. so IF he decideds to retire. his caphit doesn't affect the canucks cap correct? moving forward. sorta like derek dorsett situation.

Wow who could have seen this com-
At the very least this latest setback means Ferland needs to shut down for the season....but realistically, he and his family need to seriously think about calling it quits. He has the rest of his life ahead of him, and spending the rest of that time on this earth with post-concussion syndrome is no way to live your life.
And although it might be premature, I for one am hoping that other 'heads will roll' over this signing. Whether it's the pro scouts; the team doctors; or the somebody--anybody in this organization; there has to be some accountability. I realize it's only 'money', but a four year contract at $3.5m and they may not get 10 games to show for it.
If you or I working for our employers made a decision that cost the company $14m, we'd expect to be gonzo.
What the hell is wrong with. Like really the first thing that comes when you hear he is hurt is a way to bash Benning. How about wondering how the player is. Hockey players are still human.Also why do care when he retires the cap hit disappears and it's not like you are paying the contract.

Ferland left game with concussion like symptoms.
This was his third game in about 14 weeks. Last game was mid December. Didn’t suffer a concussion in those games but didn’t feel right after the last 2 games.I’m not shocked. I didn’t really like the tone of the interviews the last couple of weeks. It seemed that he wasn’t looking at Utica in terms of a conditioning stint but rather a test to see if he was capable going all out in a hockey game because they really didn’t know what would happen.
You don’t like to see this type of thing happen. Take the rest of the year off and see what training camp brings.
Any updates on Brock's injury?
So Montreal says nothing about Weber cause they don’t have a firm diagnosis thus this board starts thinking his career is in jeopardy.Usually with this management group being secretive and not giving updates is usually quite bad. Or they'll say that something is just "2-3 weeks" and it ends up being season ending.

If you don’t know for certain better to say nothing than give out incorrect information IMO if you are an NHL team. Despite what gets said on message boards.
