It's not a matter of who is better or improves more. It's a matter of what the Flames have at each position, both right now and 3 years from now.
Granlund projects out as a Backlund/young Stajan IMO. We have a Backlund, who was Calgary's best fwd last year, give or take a Hudler. Maybe Granlund replaces him, but we also have Jooris, Monahan, Colborne and Bennett at centre.
Ferland is a power winger who can score goals. The closest we have is Glencross and if he's here in 3 years, he's not on the top lines any more.
