No way. Ferland was on pace for 30+ goals just after Xmas. His play fell off near the end of the season when Monahan was playing through injuries.
Ferland is a finisher with a good shot. That is why he fits in well with that line. He gives Gaudreau another shooting option besides Monahan. Ferland's big knock is the same as Bennett which is inconsistency. The advantage though to Ferland is that he has played long stretches of being an offensive contributor unlike Bennett.
Bennett would play better than he has on the top line but doesn't have the shot and ability to finish like Ferland. I see no way he would confidently outperform.
