Will he get into some NHL action this season?
Did he play last night?I thunk we are trying to set the record for most 1st game solo warmup laps in a season
I'm pretty sure hes still in quarantineDid he play last night?
He played it safe. Not really noticeable. Which is a good thing, I would say. In comparison to say Davies, who we definitely notice - and not for the right reasons - I think Farrance kept it dialed down and was therefore better in that role to me. But it was just one game, so doesn't really mean anything.Saw that he played in his first game according to Elite prospects... How did he look?
Well ill answer anyways. Was supposed to be really high end offensively but always spotty defensively but after 56 ahl games hes got 15 points. Thats not gonna cut it
edit: lol I googled him and I assumed this was in the prospects forum. Sorry guys
Have we ever "thrown away" a young D who subsequently reappeared elsewhere and proved us wrong? I mean, there are lots of young D we have traded, but that's not what I mean... trading guys like Jones or Girard from a position of strength to address other areas of severe need isn't throwing them away. And I don't mean guys from late in the draft or whatever who worked at it, but never quite made it (here or anywhere else), like Allard or Dougherty or Roussell or later round picks that just never panned out.Well ill answer anyways.

Yeh its just such a hard turn on farrance. Hes still pretty young. His defensive game isnt coming along though and his offensive game isnt translating to the ahl. If his offense was good enough, his defensive weakness could be looked over some.Have we ever "thrown away" a young D who subsequently reappeared elsewhere and proved us wrong?

Myers and Farrance are a couple of recent somewhat-higher-profile young D who have truly just been scrapped after a relatively short look. It's early days, but neither player seems particularly likely to prove the Preds wrong.
Well, we sort of gave up on Franson, only to trade back for him 4 years later. Hutchinson couldn't stay healthy long but he was decent in Carolina for a minute or 2.Have we ever "thrown away" a young D who subsequently reappeared elsewhere and proved us wrong?

With our looming Cap crunch and some of the handling of Fabbro I wonder if the organization is re-thinking that. I don't believe they should be, of course. But things aren't looking 100% rosy.Well, we sort of gave up on Franson, only to trade back for him 4 years later.

But there's not a Fiala of defense for us.
I will add this, rumor had it, Colorado wanted Fabbro over Girard but Poile wouldn't do it.
It' be tough to argue Fabbro over Girard at this point.With our looming Cap crunch and some of the handling of Fabbro I wonder if the organization is re-thinking that. I don't believe they should be, of course. But things aren't looking 100% rosy.
Either way, it does seem weird that a guy who could be THE leading scorer, from D, on a top Div 1 NCAA program would be THAT incapable in the AHL. I mean, BU doesn't have chopped liver for prospects on their roster. Oh well.
?? He isnt even ours any more.Tough start
Doc is in a bad mood.?? He isnt even ours any more.
I mean tbh whatever the poster is referring to I doubt any of us would even know. I can't imagine anyone has paid attention to him since he got let go. Frankly couldn't even tell you where he is at. I'm more surprised he is even still playing.Doc is in a bad mood.
