| Personal: |
|---|
| Plus: Extremely fast skater... Excellent defensive skills and positioning... Natural goal scorer... Very good on ice vision and instincts... Competitive player... Plays aphysical, gritty game... |
| Minus: Knee injury has proved troublesome all season... Needs to add size and strength... |
| Organizational Comments: Red Wings Asst GM Jim Nill: "He's got hockey in his blood. He's got good hockey sense, good puck skills. He'll be a better skater once he gets bigger." |
| What GRC says: Spring 2010: The son of 400 goal scorer Ray Ferraro, Landon has the same knack for scoring goals, but he also is bigger, faster and more physical than his father. A defensively responsible sniper with blazing speed, Ferraro could see a few games in the AHL to spur his development for next season. A wonky knee that affected him most of the year may keep him a practice only player this spring. |
