I think we've seen Ferland both hot and cold on the top line. When he's on, he's on. But he isn't consistent and the Flames will look to remedy that. If they can't, or they change their attention to another center rather than a RW, then he probably gets the gig. If they do find a RW to replace him, then he drops. His prowess is totally reliant on Gaudreau & Monahan. He couldn't replicate his play with anyone else and he won't replace Tkachuk on the 2L. Maybe he finds a spot on the 3L, but the Flames will likely (IMO) have Bennett there. Maybe Ferland goes back to RW on another line, but I can't see that either.
