I see no reason he can't be a 25/25 guy at some point before he starts to slow down physically. I don't think he's got "elite" upside or anything, but I don't see why he can't be a poor man's version of Jamie Benn. Style-wise it's actually who comes to mind for me as no one else in the league really has the same package.
One thing I would like is for Ferly to get more PK/PP time over guys like Bouma/Frolik respectively.

I agree with essentially this entire post, but is it fair to claim Ferland has "good vision"? I'm not sure I can ever recall me impressed by a Ferland pass. Maybe I'm wrong.
