The sky is the limit is a bit much, but Ferland has earned an NHL roster spot whereas Drouin has not. Difference being Drouin is a top 6 or bust player where Ferland can fit on IMO 3 lines. There's just more options for Ferland to play in the NHL with his skill set. Does that mean he is better than Drouin, not a chance. Flames have plenty of bottom 6 players, and only 4 or 5 top six players. There's a balance not being met there. And I really don't think Ferland is ever going to be a top 6 player. He's being used as one today because well, they've tried all the other options barring call ups and he's earned a shot for a game or two until Frolik and Hudler get back.
