* Ferrin profiles as being capable of both the INV Wing & Direct Wing roles. Context clues point to him being the more direct winger for HFX, but he’d likely be best as an INV Winger for a different team. His secondary role has to be credited as a ‘Creative Link’, where he spent the bulk of his time this season playing as a ‘9’.
