Physically weak player with average at best intensity. Possible journeyman at best. I'm not holding my breathe.
I don't think he ever was. People got excited at college stats without watching his play.
College is a hard place to judge players, it's way less physical than the NHL. Kinda similar to the Q in that way, players' style doesn't always translate. ie. Kidney
Unfortunately his skating is nowhere near NHL level and his shot is non existent.

most prospects have ups and downs, he must keep working on getting quicker, stronger, better skating. He looks to be doing that but is it enough. Laval has struggled to create much offense outside of a couple players but he needs to get going. Scoring on that breakaway last game would have been good for him since his confidence is likely taken a hit. He's a very smart player but lacks physical tools, development can often take years so he'll either get there one day or he'll end up in the Euro leagues.

Funny, to this observer, the only skill that Farrell has that is close to NHL level is his skating. Farrell has to get stronger. He is too easily pushed off the puck and rarely wins board battles. But as his breakaway showed against Rochester, Farrell has straight forward speed and some quickness. I thought he played well with Beck and Davidson last night.
