2020 NHL Entry Draft

Probably thought Montreal was going to pick him soon but that's silly, he's not from Minnesota.


I think Timmins needs to go work for the Wild.
 
USHL have a huge advantage over other kids since you can wait 4 years before deciding on giving them a contract VS 2 years for CHL players. I'm thinking the habs are abusing this advantage too much to my liking.
 
Their drafting strategy isn't really a strategy. It's stupid.
I agree. It's weird to go way off the board to take that Minnesota kid, when he likely would have been there at the pick they used to get Farrell. Reach one round to get a guy sliding the round after. Bizarre
 
And no flier on Villeneuve? At worst he's a book or bust. He's exactly the type of player you take a chance on in late rounds.
 
There has to be an offer sheet coming

Yeah....that price range of <= $4,363,095, means a 2nd round pick.
And the next level $4,363,095 - $6,544, 640 means a 1st and a 3rd

If next years draft sucks why not try both of the above.
 
47. Sean Farrell, C, Chicago-USHL

Nov. 2, 2001 | 5-foot-9 | 175 pounds

Skating: 60
Puck Skills: 55
Physical Game: 30
Hockey Sense: 60

Farrell went to the Steel after his time with the U.S. NTDP and was one of the top players in the USHL, playing in all situations for Chicago. Farell is a very quick player who can use his speed and skill to gain the offensive zone with control. He’s a very smart player who can hit seams and set up chances at a high rate, and do so at a quick pace. Some scouts see Farrell as a 5-foot-9 player without tremendous skill and wonder if he has enough to make it to the NHL. He does compete hard though, and can PK effectively. I like the talent, but it’s fair to say for his size it’s not overwhelming amounts of talent.

John Wroblewski, coach for the U.S. NTDP U17s, on Farrell: “He is a jackknife type of player. He understands the simple momentum game but also has the skill set to run your power play. He’s one of the smartest players I’ve ever coached.”
