Ferland posted 17 goals and 40 points in 71 games with Carolina last season, but added just one assist in seven playoff contests. He spent the previous three-plus campaigns with the Flames, putting up 89 points in 250 regular-season starts.
The roster and cap implications for Vancouver, per PuckPedia:
After signing Ferland to 4 yr $3.5M Cap Hit deal, the #Canucks have $5.88M of Cap Space w/ 23 (14F/8D/2G) on roster.
RFA’s: Boeser & Goldobin
With RFA's signed, will need to remove 2 from roster. If players sent to AHL, clears max $1.075M * 2https://t.co/kcfp6wQuo6— PuckPedia (@PuckPedia) July 10, 2019
The Canucks, who still have to ink high-priced RFA Brock Boeser, already made a pair of big-money moves this summer with the signing of Tyler Myers to a six-year, $30-million contract and acquiring center J.T. Miller from the Tampa Bay Lightning.
