I was wondering where you were...

Nice pick up for our prospect depth and boy do we need it. Donny hit a home run .

I'd call it more of a base hit.

Nice kid, good upside. I think his floor is Riley Nash with the potential to be a middle 6 center. Needs to find another gear in his skating to stand out more. Important year for him development wise...Providence has some interesting prospects in the cooker.

Hopefully another coyle.

Hoping to see him Buffalo prospects challenge...

Stempniak on the stump for Farinacci from Gophnx.com

Coyotes director of player development Lee Stempniak also noted Farinacci’s cerebral game when I checked in with him after Farinacci’s return to the Harvard lineup last winter.

“He’s a really intelligent player,” Stempniak said at the time. “He’s always in the right spot defensively and he’s skilled. He’s got good puck skills, he can make plays in traffic, he can make all the little plays, and what I like about him is he’s got the ability to play on the inside. He is a guy that can take the puck from outside the dots and find ways to get it inside to the middle of the ice, whether that’s little passes through guys or slick moves or finding those pucks with instinct.”

Hopefully another coyle.

Hopefully he’s John Farinacci.

Interesting signing, although I was paying more attention to what Robert Mastrosimone might do(no Bruins link, as far as I know).

You never heard of him? He had 5 goals for the US World Junior team that won gold in 2021. He was on that team with Zegras, Boldy, Caulfield....

With a 5-2 win over Slovakia. John Farinacci was named the U.S. Player of the Game after scoring two goals and winning 10-of-14 faceoffs.

Wow we landed him and I totally missed this.

Nice snag for the B's

I saw Harvard play live and I always ask my text group ‘ok who you want me to check out’?

And Lou from here tells me Farinacci, you are going to love him’

I think he’s from Jersey like Lou and I think Lou had him on his prospects in SIM

I knew of him but I keyed on him and my text was ‘Lou he’s the balls’

So I’m all over this

He’s top 5 Bruins prospect and I expect his floor third line regular and a very good one - to me this is like a late first round pick already far along and somewhat polished

My binkie is Merkulov but Farinacci is the right there

What about Christopher Pelosi

 

[Saxon Eric]

Pelosi plays Boston Bruins hockey, you'll like him

What about Christopher Pelosi

I like his style - very unique didn’t see anyone at DC like him / he’s on Sioux Falls and he’s with Hendrickson
