I like Ferland - I think he's made slow but steady progress (with a huge but perhaps unrepresentative blip in last year's POs). I think he can score 20 (Jones did and I think Ferland can easily be as good as Jones).
I don't particularly like Drouin, either as far as his actions and strategy are concerned or his playing style and potential fit here. I don't think he'd do any better as a Flame than in Tampa.
But I also think you wouldn't pass up a deal for Ferland plus a 2nd to get Drouin. I also think there's no way Tampa would ever do that deal.
