Is it fair to expect Farrell will be signed shortly after his college season ends?

Also, when would his college season end? I'm not sure how the playoff structure works in the NCAA.

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

Not necessarily… can’t discount teams presently below Habs having a late season surge vs teams who are playoff bound & lacking focus

His regular season is already over, his team got a bye and will play their first playoff game next week.

ECAC (Harvard conference) has its playoff final on March 18th, but the Frozen Four tournament is April 6th to 8th and 10 of the 16 teams participating are selected, big chance that Havard is selected (if they don't win the playoffs) since they finished second in the standings.

Habs games after the 8th are on April 12th and 13th.

Could he hypothetically be knocked out on the 7th and sign by the 8th then?

yes.

Harvard will play in the NCAA tournament, as 3 of the current top 6 ranked teams in the NCAA are teams with Hab prospects on them,

Pitlick - Minnsota - 1st OA in NCAA
Hutson/Tuch - BU - 5th OA
Farrell - Harvard - 6th OA
Dobes - Ohio St - 10th OA

Struble - NU - 17th OA

In the NCAA tournament it's one and done, so win and you play more, lose and your season is over. The tournament starts on March 23rd, so Farrell will play either the 23rd, 24th or 25th. If his team wins he goes on to play another game. If they win that then they advance to the Frozen Fours in April.

Small sample size to see him but I'll take it.

If they lose in the quarter finals next week do they also play march 23rd?

 

[montreal]

yes. They are ranked too high to drop far enough to miss the tournament as Sunday is the tournament is announced.

And the tournament starts on the 23rd but it looks like this year they are spreading out the 8 games (16 teams) between 3 days, it was always over 2 days which make for a very crazy 3 days of hockey so I'm glad they are spreading it out more, though I haven't read too much about that yet.

So Farrell and Harvard will play in the NCAA tournament, just a question of what day they will play, the 23, 24 or 25th.

Don't be! they be messing with ya. lol. Goalies don't look at shooters eyes,just pulling your leg. It was good one though,ridiculous but funny.lol.

I'm a goalie and yes we do..

My link won't post right but here it is

Devils’ Martin Brodeur responds to Alex Ovechkin’s mirrored visor comments: ‘I never called the league about that’

In an hour-long interview with ESPN last week, Ovechkin claimed that the legendary Devils goaltender “started crying to the league” and forced NHL commissioner Gary Bettman to ban mirror-tinted visors in 2006.

Can Farrell be converted as a centerman ? He's got great passing skills and vision. Can carry the puck. And seems to be aware defensively too. I am not for another smallish winger in our line up. We got Caufield and possibly RHP for that. That's plenty.

At least one of them will have to go eventually.

Spoiler : It ain't gonna be Caufield.

I think we can have 1 on each line max, though apparently Zucharello is playing with Kaprizov in Minny...and having a career year, point per game, at 35 doing so.

he was drafted as a center. Right now he needs to focus on adding mass, strength, quickness. I don't know where they will put him down the road but for now the wing should be fine and I think he will get looks at center at some point if he works on the physical tools I just said he needs to work on.

Lol thanks, I completely missed the Ivy part of that tweet.

Naw, Size and instincts are that of a winger. Would be Drouin-esque.

That's interesting.

So far, there will be competition, as he'll have to beat out Suzuki, Dach, or Beck for a C spot in the top 9.

Farrell is a like a second centreman on the ice, he does everything well. His size doesn't matter he can do it all. It's possible that he could become a centreman eventually but he's way too good as a right wing to change anything.

I think of our three small wingers, Caufield easily slots in on the first line, then Farrell on the second line, then RHP on the 3rd line with Anderson.

Will be interesting to see who will be on the opposite wings. Maybe Slaf opposite Caufield and Gurianov or Heineman opposite Farrell.

That's quite a lineup if Monahan could come back and we'd go Suzuki Dach Monahan up the middle.

I think Farrell-Suzuki-Caufield is going to be a thing at some point. Their size isn't going to matter if they can score at will.

I would love it if it worked. Just don't see how it can. Maybe in spurts.

Anyways, can't wait to Farrell later this year.

Although neither situation is ideal, I'd rather have two small wingers on a line than one small center. I like me some size up the middle. There aren't a lot of productive 2-way centers who are 5ft9 or shorter in the league.

Farrell plays to his strengths on the wing.
