For the Vancouver game I will be wishing that we signed Ferland. He's a beast.
Kadri and Ferland are 2 legit top 6 players the Flames are missing. After top line and Tkachuk those 2 are upgrades on Backlund, Frolik, Bennett, Ryan, Mangiapane, Czarnik etc.
Top 6
Gaudreau - Monahan - Lindholm
Tkachuk - Kadri - Ferland

Ferland is not an upgrade on Backlund. It isn’t even close. He’s barely an upgrade on Bennett if at all. Kadri, I’d say it’s up for debate whether he’s better than Backlund. Offensively, he’s better- not by a lot, but better. Defensively, Backlund is better. And I think Kadri is a ####ty locker room guy. Seems like a d-bag to me.
