[Adam Michaels]

I only want to know one thing - is he moar bigger?

They can't all be Hutsons.

 

[Kudo Shinichi]

Farrell is our top forward prospect, excited to see how he does in the nhl

I know Suzuki could use some smarts on his line. If Marty sees the quality I don't think he would hesitate to try it.

 

[26Mats]

He is joining the team on the road trip

Annoying to see these NCAA players able to burn the first year of their ELCs. Ideally he would have started in the AHL. Now the team will have to send back to Laval somebody else that worked hard the whole year.

I think he can be sent to Laval, no?

He just can't play in the playoffs.

First evaluation is his skating and how that stands out at the NHL level.

Second evaluation is hockey IQ and how he comprehends the time/space challenge and MSL will help him with that.

Third evaluation is his skill (shot and vision/play making).

Does he shine right away or is he the type that needs time in Laval. Can't play Laval this year but these NHL games will give him a test and also show us a little sample to see where he is at in development... Pro level evaluation

I know Suzuki could use some smarts on his line. If Marty sees the quality I don't think he would hesitate to try it.

Agreed. If anything, I think Farrell needs to play with a center who knows what they are doing. Right now with all the injuries, that's Suzuki and Dach.

Curious to see if Monahan plays any more games cause Farrell could be a good one to play with in terms of playing with someone who has experience.

Could be a good one but the lack of size on the team down the road could be an issue. So many under 5-10 guys with talent.

 

[26Mats]

With the Habs and not the Rocket. I wouldn't do it. But I guess for the Rocket it means Ylonen goes back? Who else? Pitlick? Do you send RHP back for help?

As far as Farrell is concerned, I'm eager to see how he'Ll manage with the speed he has.

Insane how despite being at the bottom of the league, that lineup still has stuff to look for and you actually cannot stop watching it...lol

Can't we just alternate who we scratch, and scratch players like Tierney, Pitlick, and Pez, if Farrell out0lays them?

 

[Kudo Shinichi]

Cole always knew

Not really because you need to have the talent to trade for the talent you need to build your team.

Yes he can play in Laval during the regular season but not the playoffs. Caufield played 2 games with Laval right after he signed before being called up to Montreal.

 

[26Mats]

I will be disappointed if Farrell can't crack the top-12 F at camp. At age almost 22, he won't be sent down justy due to being "too young".

It will be annoying if Hoffman and Armia play ahead of him, even though he's NHL ready. Anyways, we'll see at camp who's still on the roster and what happens...

While Caufield is out, have him go do some amateur scouting for the draft. He's got an eye for talent.

Hoffman is over 0.5 ppg with surprisingly adequate defence. He is an NHL player.

Armia is filler at this point. If Farrell isn't better then of course he should go to Laval.

Next camp will be very interesting with farrell, Roy and beck coming to try and crack the lineup, and guys like ylonen and rhp showing they belong already.

Only so many spots.

 

[SlafySZN]

He's going to have to displace Dvorak eventually and Evans immediately.

Just to preface: Immediately being out of camp.

He’s not a center. He’s a LW.

If Pitlick is an option he'd be my choice

Sean Farrell=Mitch Marner, okay, tell me i'm dreaming lol.

It‘s part of the sell to sign these college players. Gets them to free agency quicker and an opportunity to make more sooner.

Yeah Farrell is such a slacker...

 

[Habs13]

The logjam of forwards grows ...and people still think Drouin is getting a contract. This is very interesting though, as both Harvey-Pinard and Ylonen have earned their spots and are producing. Not really fair to take out either of them.

 

[Rapala]

He’s not a center. He’s a LW.

My bad he's on easy street then.

Stu you might want to wait until the lad has had some practice time before asking the coach that question.

 

[26Mats]

Farrell worked his butt off all year, having a standout season while doing two academic years in one. Incredible. Only Fantilli had more ppg in the entire NCAA.

Ylonen is on the "Clear Day" roster for Laval, to make and then play in their playoffs. So is RHP. Ylonen will go back first.

Ylonen is the shy type that takes a while to get comfortable and warm up in new surroundings. But I want to see whether he's the type that, once he gets comfortable, he really comes out of his shell with a bang.

Last game he was beaming with confidence, even starting to dance with the puck. I'd like him to keep getting more and more comfortable. It will help him for camp next year. And he can't be sent down next year without going through waivers. So we need him to be ready.

Last game was a joke in terms of competition. It was like a scrimmage at times.

I'm the biggest Drouin hater on the p li anet. But he's actually producing. He had a really nice pass to Gurianov for a tap in that should have gotten him on the scoresheet in Boston.

Whereas, Dvo doesn't produce. I'd consider Drouin at 3c over Dvo, if we can't find a better replacement.

At any rate I consider us to have a log jam on the wings, but still in need of an upgrade on Dvo st C.
