Ferland has gotten better every single year since he's entered the league and he's given no reason why he won't put up better numbers next year.
Outside of some consistency issues, he was a great fit for the top line last year. GG has tried Bennett, Brouwer and Chiasson at 1RW and they've all failed to produce like Ferland did. I could care less if he's being carried by Johnny and Monahan, at the end of the day he's produced 20/20 at that spot, why are we complaining?
Even if we got another high end RWer, Ferland stays on that top line. Nobody in the NHL loads up their top lines anymore.
