Ferland has something like 3 goals and 11 points in 58 NHL games. I know he had set backs in development due to injuries and personal issues, but at this point he would have to have almost unprecedented development to reach Lucic's level.

Disagree. He shows top two line power forward potential. If you watch closely you can see he's almost as skilled with the puck as our most skilled players. He has all the tools. Size, physicality, passing, shot, stick handling.
The sky is the limit for him. There are reasons why he developed slower than Lucic, I'm sure you're aware of them or can search for some of them on the internet.
I'd be surprised if he didn't develop into a top two line power forward that is how promising he is. I mean if you can't see it then you either aren't watching closely enough or ?
