Yep, that's why even with his potential I don't really believe Ferland will ever be a top six guy. He's got lots of skill and size, but never seems to be able to work hard and play his game consistently.
That doesn't mean he's a bust for providing value to the Flames. It just means he'll likely be a bottom six guy who will catch teams off guard and then once and awhile will show greatness in a top six role when injury occurs, because he'll take the short opportunities seriously.
Also has the ability to be a huge factor in the playoffs.
