People want to keep Ferland because he has the potential to be one of the rarest commodities in the NHL, a power forward with skill. That ranks up there with big #1 centre and top pairing defenseman as some of the hardest things to find. There's a reason why every team wanted Lucic there for a while and teams like EDM were naming him as a type of player they need. Ferland has that potential.
I'd be very wary about giving him up. He's not quite untouchable for me but after Brodie, Gaudreau, Monahan, Gio, Hamilton and Bennett, he's the player in the organization I'd least like to move.

Sorry I don't see it with Ferland. I think he is at best an adequate bottom 6 whereas Drouin has top line potential.
