Sure he could turn out to be a career 500 goal scorer but the evidence currently is showing other wise as he's having a hard time breaking an NHL lineup and making demands.
Ferland's character can't be questioned. Nor can his determination. He has shown skill. He's got all the intangibles in a player that every team is looking for and covets.
Is it necessarily over-valuing him or is it simply a case of he's proven that he deserves a spot in the NHL and truly the sky is the limit for this kid?
It really isn't that simple.

What's simple is your gross underestimation of how good a prospect Drouin is.
Ferland is a good young player and can be an important part of our team.
That said, if he could be used as a main piece to land an potential top line talent, it's a no-brainer.
