Prospect Info: Sean Farrell, C/LW, 124th Overall

[Nico Cauzuki]

around when should we be expecting him heard Harvard have a good team so guessing they go far but when does it start?

Quarter final starts march 10, team needs to win 2 games to qualify for the semis. If they lose his season can end march 12 if i’m not mistaken.

Last year they won the ECAC championship and then lost in the regional semifinal on march 24th.

You mean after being considered as a legit NHL prospect he is still learning how to stick handle without looking at the puck? (Sarcasm meter pegged). Come on you know better than that

Not sure what you are getting at? I would think an NHL prospect as highly touted (on this board anyways) would have that down. Just surprised to see it.

He's literally one of the most creative and best stickhandlers in the prospect pool.

He was trying to throw off the goaltender as he was trying to read Farrells eyes.

I'm not convinced of that at all.

 

[ZUKI]

Spotted in your living room when your curtains were left open one day last week ...

No more PShop from you Runner, stick to text, you are better at it

 

[Estimated_Prophet]

Yes, why else would he take a peek 3 or 4 times on a penalty shot?

You clearly have never played the game.

He isn't looking at the puck because he doesn't know how to stick handle with his head up lol. This is super common on penalty shots and is just the shooter working things out in his head without staring at the goalie the whole time up the ice. It is commonly done when approaching slowly like Farrell did.

I don't know what to say to you if you actually think a great stickhandler like Farrell "NEEDS" to look at the puck while barely stickhandling and skating at a crawl......how such an obviously incorrect thought could not only formulate but then to double and triple down on it in this thread is astonishing to me. I don't think you have any idea how skilled even poor players at this level are. I was not a skill player at all and I would not have needed to do that in order to control the puck all the way back to tyke or atom lol.

Struble was drafted in a second round. Farrell in a 5th round. When drafted, Struble was not considered a marginal talent at all.

Pretty sure Struble was seen has a reach in the 2nd don’t remember him being that high on many list from what I remember he was 4-5th round on most of the list, while Farrell was rank late 2nd and fell to the 4th because of size and skating concerns.

Struble was not a reach at all....there were multiple posters including myself pumping his tires as a 2nd/3rd round pick before the draft. Nobody on this board was talking about Farrell that early that I can recall. Struble was the star of the combine that year and was definitely seen as a prospect with great upside. I don't even think Farrell was invited to the combine in his draft year.

Struble would never have stayed on the board as long as Farrell did, every GM/Head scout in the league let Farrell slide 80 spots lower than where Struble was taken.

This tells us two undeniable facts:

1) Scouting at the highest level is far from an exact science

2) Struble was more highly regarded at the time than Farrell was by at least one team and overwhelmingly likely by most if not all teams. These teams employ the best scouts on the planet and do not consult with fake scouts/on-line nerd sites/publications.

Struble is still a good prospect but the LHD ranks in the org are brimming with other great kids so he has lost some shine with some posters on here (especially the ones who build their entire opinion from the stat sheet).

Get that Struble shit out of here please.

If you like Struble find his thread and post there, how hard is that?

We're here because Farrell is going to be ours soon and he's very good, could potentially derail the tank.

We need to bottom out this year, because I see us being a good team next year - as in making the jump to a bubble team.

We have Farrell, Heineman, RHP, Ylonen, and maybe Gurianiv bringing youth and speed to replace the slow vet deadweight on the wings of the forward corps. And Dach is emerging at C. If we re-sign Monahan, and go Suzuku-Dach-Monahan at C, that will be a good forward corps.

 

[StCaufield]

How’s this Collin Graf guy? He’s got the scoring lead over Farrell with one more game played. Graf isn’t drafted which is interesting

This tank shit is dumb. It’s like you’re wanting to tank more than develop lol “derail the tank”.

I hear ya….some poster today suggested losing 6-0 to Sharks was a good thing to happen…..???????

Like WTF

Lets be absolutely horrible and have players zero progress so we can potentially have an 11% chance at drafting top 2

We can’t bottom out and expect to be good next year.

If we have the best odds at drafting Bedard come April’s lottery charade….Houston, we have a problem, all our players are shit!!

We need to find that balance between losing and our core players doing well.

At best we’ll be in that 3-4-5 range….3 if Suzuki gets hurt, 4 if we just lucky and 5 if all goes good where we are developing and picking up wins here and there.

We not finishing in bottom 2, we’d have to lose 21 of the next 23 games and that’s not good either.


I don’t know, what are your thoughts on losing out the season vs developing??

Edit: Geez…just realized I’m in the Farrell thread….will change the subject

There is a big difference between picking 5-6 and 9-10. With other teams tanking and injured players coming back I expect the habs will need some lottery luck. The prospect pool isn’t bad but it’s lacking top guys. They really need one or two really top line/pairing guys.

It’s encouraging to see the young guys are good but I don’t think they are good enough without a couple of major additions. Could be drafts, trades, signings, but draft would be best for timing and cap.

Lost track of the thread. Eager to see Farrell. I doubt he’ll stop the tank on his own.

I remember it the other way not many people talking about Struble before the combine and plently of people talking about Farrell as a ppg in a better league playing along ~10 NHL prospects…
Well I guess it isn’t a exact science, the list that I trust most had Struble in the 4/5th and Farrell in the late 2nd, regardless Farrell is the better prospect and it isn’t just because people are stat watching or deep at LD…

 

[AHShadow]

Obviously he's in his D+3 which helps a lot, but when was the last time that we had arguably the best player in the NCAA?

Really excited to see him play with the Habs in a few months (hopefully).

He's gonna have to work on those takeaways if he wants a career in the NHL /s

Caufield

He finished first in points and goals in the 2020-2021 season.

Graf played 5 more games than Farrell.

But yeah, couldn’t say i never put my attention on this player, he plays in quinnipiac, it’s a good team.

Curious what this list is that you trust because they are all garbage.

Struble was easily the bigger name at the time, especially after demolishing the combine and having a huge offensive season in prep. How can you even begin to debate this when Farrell was passed over 123 times in his draft year, almost 80 spots later than Struble who Timmins was on record as saying that he knew other teams were looking at taking him soon.

Facts are just facts but you did nail one fact and that is that Farrell is unquestionably the better prospect now.

 

[GobigorGohome]

Farrel is undersized Good for the No contact NCAA ,not so good against NHL Men

 

[26Mats]

Farrel is undersized

So is Caufield.

 

[GTA]

 

[MTL Dirty Birdy]

This league is returning to skill>size.

All list have issues, I like list when the person can explain why they rank players that way it easier to evaluate how it differ from my evaluation or what are the bias.

Every years there are ok player that raise on physical prowess and every years there are very skill player that drop based on various issues, those player are very well know and highly rank but they just fall in the draft...

It is different year but 6 out of 9 (7/10 or 6/10) of these list have Farrell ahead of Struble. Farrell was over PPG in the USHL with 10 other legit NHL prospect Stuble was in Prep school. one was highly rank early but fell because of size, Struble wasn't as highly rank coming to the season but generated a lot of buzz raised at the draft. Struble had more momentum going into the draft but I still don't belive he was has the bigger name.
