I think Ferland can become Lucic 2.0
Ferland is 6'1, 225. Lucic is 6'3, 225.

If you compare their stats from their 3rd WHL seasons:
Ferland: 68GP, 47G, 49A, 96P, 84PIM
Lucic: 70GP, 30G, 38A, 68P, 147PIM

It looks like Ferland had way better scoring stats, but less PIMs.

Another important thing to look at is Lucic's first 2 seasons in the NHL. I know he was a few years younger than Ferland is now, but it's worth looking at.

Lucic first NHL Season: 77GP, 8G, 19A, 27P, 89 PIM
Lucic second NHL Season: 72GP, 17G, 25A, 42P, 136PIM

These two seasons aren't super impressive. I think Ferland can put up similar numbers in his first two seasons, and then hopefully breakout like Lucic did in his 3rd, when he scored 30G and had 62P.
