Landon Ferraro

At this point with Ratu, I feel like he's done that a few different times.

It's now the reverse.

He needs a team to look at him and say, you know what, we're going to give him 20 games.

No matter what happens, he's playing the first 20 games.

Yes.

And tell him that.

And in the same role.

That's what I mean.

Not worried about your minutes.

As much as best we can, you're going to play with the same two guys, and you're going to kill every penalty.

I don't care if you end up going dash four one night, you're going back the next night.

I want you to have that confidence, but you do make it known it is the first quarter of the year.

This is our gift to you because you've earned it.

Past that, then it's back to you're fighting every night for it.

And I'm not saying that you're doing that because you're just giving him this free pass and you're patting him on the back.

I just think with a bit of confidence going the other direction with him, he can grab it.

You just need to accept that it's not going to look the prettiest every night.

He did.

He got some help with the power play, though.

Yes, that's true.
