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.”
