The team cares more about wins and players who contribute to wins more than any single player. I have no problem playing Bennett on the 3rd line because as of today, he’s shown that he’s not a consistently effective top 6 forward yet.

I love looking at Ferland's stats before being put up with the hottest duo in the NHL. I'm really going to go to bat for a 21 year old centerman who has had to adjust to the game at a breakneck speed.
I'm glad someone pointed out he's an RFA. Everyone here in Calgary loves Micheal Ferland. I get it. It's hard to even have an actual rational conversation with most Flames Fans about the guy.
The question I have for this thread is this: Why is everyone so patient with Micheal Ferland who has done NOTHING (23 points total) before being set up full time with Johnny and Mony. Yet, ready to chase a 21 year old 4th overall pick out of the city?
