Landon Ferraro, the son of former NHLer and current TSN broadcaster Ray Ferraro, will be attending the Vancouver Canucks' training camp on a PTO. The 28 year old is looking to find himself a permanent spot on an NHL roster, as he has spent a large chunk of his professional career in the AHL, with the Grand Rapids Griffins, Chicago Wolves, and most recently with the Iowa Wild.
Since being drafted 32nd overall by the Detroit Red Wings in 2009, Ferraro has only suited up for 77 games between the Detroit Red Wings, Boston Bruins, and Minnesota Wild. He has tallied 7 goals and 12 points. His best NHL season was in 2015-2016 with the Bruins, he played 58 games with the B's and scored 5 goals and 10 points.
With a heavy crop of forwards in Vancouver, it will be tough for Ferraro to land a spot, but there is a chance that he could catch some interest from other clubs in exhibition play, or get a spot with the Canucks' AHL affiliate, the Utica Comets, where he could get called up for some regular season games.
