My guess is that the Flames will be looking for someone to fill that role all year long

This whole "on a cup contender" thing is ridiculous. Is Connor Sheary the ideal top line winger on a cup contender? Probably not, but yet the Penguins have won two cups with him playing that role.
Every contender is different, some would rather have a balanced depth attack and some like to overload with one or two lines. So the argument that the flames can't be a contender until they find a top line RW makes no sense, especially when we only have basically half a season with Ferland in that spot and we have no idea what he could possibly do in a full season.
