I don't disagree. Just pointing out a forward that is not top 6 material that is putting up the numbers. He clearly fits better in that spot than Lucic who was not as successful when given the same opportunity this year.

For the Flames to move forward though I believe they need to upgrade the RW spot with Ferland and get a better player in that spot.
