Luke DeCock of the Raleigh News And Observer: The Carolina Hurricanes face a crossroads of sorts when it comes to Micheal Ferland. They look at recent history where Jeff Skinner was lost for a prospect and three draft picks — none of which were a first round pick.
Ferland could fetch a first round pick which would help Carolina immensely or if he stays, how much do they pay the free agent to be? Consider, he scored 13 goals and is on a 27 goal pace, 50+ point projection. The forward scored 20 goals in his last season in Calgary.
