For Granlund, Ferland and Baertschi, I am not totally convinced that they have beaten a veteran out of their spot.
Ferland and Baertschi did not. Granlund is an edge case right now. He's sliding a bit, but he's also continued to show the spark too. His position is largely secured by the long term nature of Backlund's injury. Either way, a couple of these guys will force the Flames to move a veteran centre in the offseason.
