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.

Ferland played with Mark Stone, so his stats were pretty inflated that year. Look at the year after when he was sent back to Junior and his stats fell back down to earth.
Also Lucic at 22 (Ferland's age last season) was already a 30 goal scorer. That would be the most optimistic projection possible, and we don't even have offensive players of the level of Krejci and Horton for him to feed off.
Honestly I'd be happy to ever get a 20 goal / 15 assist season out of Ferland. A guy like Lucic is a pipe dream as Ferland lacks the reach that makes Lucic so effective.
