Ferly has done what this year? Succeeded due to circumstance. Dude is absolutely useless when he isn’t on Gaudreau’s line, and is a less than ideal solution to the RW question.
I like our LW depth going into next year.
Gaudreau
Tkachuk
Bennett
Ferland
Leave it at that. If injuries happen, you can move guys up the line-up - but planning to have Ferly sit on your top line is just asking for problems, as we’ve seen this year.
Our RW depth is...bad.

Frolik
Lazar
I like both Lazar and Frolik in those spots...but we need two top 6 RW’ers.

I think we're fairly set on the left side and down the middle. I don't think Ferland belongs on the 4th line as he and Frolik are 3rd line wingers in my opinion. However both have been somewhat disappointing this season. Ferland was on fire earlier on but hit a brick wall and has looked bad ever since. Frolik had his worst season as a Flame this year and is now on the back 9 of his career. I keep going back and forth on if I want them around for next season.
Gaudreau-Monahan-
Tkachuk-Backlund-
Bennett-Jankowski-
Dube-Shore-Lazar
The bolded 6 are the current roster forwards I not only hope stick around but feel are a big part of our future success. We need to keep these guys, move out some guys on defence (Hamilton is untouchable IMO) and strengthen our RW situation.
