Patience. Ferland showed this year that he can ride shotgun on that top line and produce. He's developing into a strong top six forward. People need to remember that development still continues in a players first few years in the league. Players don't show up in the NHL and they are fully cooked. They still have to learn the NHL game and how to do things in the NHL game. Ferland is well on his way to becoming a player in the ilk of Gary Roberts. The Flames just need to continue to play him with Monahan and Gaudreau and then reap the rewards.
