Both Farrell and Kidney are barely AHL player. They will both end up in Europe in 2026. RHP is a fringe NHL player. He can still help Laval or play with us (if we have injury).
I have more faith in Kidney’s upside than most here. My opinion about Farrell has been well stated in my post game comments addressing our prospects and suspects in Laval. The fact is, that if the future success of the team is to any degree dependent on the upward development of either Farrell or RHP we’re in trouble. The future success of the team rests on the projected development of Hutson, Demidov, Hage, Beck, Engstrom, Mailloux, Tuch, and the Xhekaj brothers. They’re the future. The Farrells and RHP level players will never be more than a sideshow.
