Pattern being that talented small players drop in the draft and get taken in later rounds of course...

At this point, i think cap space is all you need for Puljujarvi now. Doubt a GM would give assets for him.

Especially not Farrell lol
But he was joking i think, because someone said Farrell was another ‘’small’’ player, as if being big (like puljujarvi) makes you any good.

I think its more about bulk. Tampa wasn't a "tall" team when they won their b2b Cups, but they were "heavy".
And then, I wonder if being heavy really helps with a player's game, vs being an advantage in being more resistant to the wear and tear of an NHL season + playoffs.
Meaning, bulk up Farrell and Caufield to 200 lbs and they'll be absolute monsters

I would never, never trade Farrell for Puuljarvi !!!!!
Their D-corp and goalie were huge though.I think its more about bulk. Tampa wasn't a "tall" team when they won their b2b Cups, but they were "heavy".

The habs needs more talent, small or big. They will balance it later!Farrell is another small player, we need to find a better balance.
Habs are very small and will be smaller in the future. We shouldn't draft according to this specific need, but the Habs will be smaller than they ever were (if possible) in the past, it's gonna be a problem.

They have four 6’4 forwards as of now, and the defence isn’t small either.
If the small players are good, you can always trade them for need after. No one cares about giant 2nd round pick Luke Tuch vs 4th round pick Farrell from same draft.
Habs are no longer considered small as they were for many years.
Their D are all large and can skate (Harris is not overly big).
Up front they have Caufield as smallish but is built like a mini tank.
This team is far from small.

When you look past the expiring contracts that are not part of our core, we are not that small. We just have to manage it well.
Our D is not small. There is room for guys like Harris and Hutson but ideally, we have Hutson with the other guys very big and mobile.
Our F is not small. There is room for Caufield and Farrell but it will come down to how they are surrounded and how effective our centers are.

Don't fall into the trap of getting big player. See Macarron.

Yeah, who cares about talent after all, right?
Farrell I am sure signs after his NCAA season ends and plays some games in Montreal this year.
Bilodeau, Brad Brown, Michael McCarron anyone?

A lot of whining about Sean Farrell's height.
It doesn't matter right now, he's joining a tanking, injury-riddled roster for some 20 games.
I also think that some of you are suffering from Gomez -era PTSD. The Habs have good size up and down the roster including Dach, Anderson, and the defense.

I am not sold whatsoever on Struble. 4th year and I just don't see the progression. Maybe it's not about numbers with this kid.

We'll see what he turns out to be. But Habs will sign him and he will end the year here.
