LW Joel Farabee - USNTDP, USHL (2018, 14th, PHI)

[William H Bonney]

I know, I didn't say that he did...

So what's the purpose of comparing the physical maturity of an 18 year old versus a 33 year old as a juxtaposition to their rumored similarities as players?

You're reading too much into it. My only point was that if Farabee wants to be as successful as Parise he might have to add 30 lbs. I didn't say or imply anything else than that. I don't even know how good or bad the Parise comparison is because I don't watch Minnesota much, I was just relaying what other people have said...

Islanders got 11 and 12 back to back..I think Farabee lands there. If the Rangers take him at 9 I wouldn't be shocked, but the Islanders seem like right in that range with back to back picks...

Love the Parise comparisons. He has impressed me at the under 18's as well.

I see the Islanders getting Farabee/Veleno and Ty Smith, unless someone unexpected fall.

he is a Parise/Pavelski type player. Smart and hard working with above average skill in nearly everything. players like him always over perform because of how hard they work each and every day, they do not take a shift off or anything for granted at this level. Islanders would love this kid and would be another top offensive piece regardless of what Tavares does.

He could battle Veleno for 10th .. Should go 10-15 imo

It would be a travesty to Farabee if Veleno gets picked close to him, he's a much better prospect than Veleno.

I tend to agree. I am not big on Veleno.. but was basing that 10 spot on some rankings that I saw. I much prefer Kotkaniemi or Farabee

 

[M2Beezy]

Pretty sure the Canucks wont draft him at 7 but he should be in consideration for bpa at that spot. Anyways whoever does pick him will be loving this pick for years and years

 

[57special]

Parise didn't have 30 lbs on him when they were both 18.

Parise sure as hell isn't 6', either.

 

[goosh]

Would be over the moon if he fell to the Kings at 20. Love this kid.

This is exactly what's going to happen, and as a Ranger fan I am sad about it. Hated watching Parise fall to the Devils in 2003 and will hate to see this just as much, if not worse.

I'm still holding out hope that the Rangers pull off some magic and come away from this night with both Wahlstrom and Farabee in the stable somehow. I am not convinced that Wahlstrom will have a better NHL career than Farabee.

 

[Nerv]

I want him at 13

Welcome to Philadelphia!

Anyone willing to project Farabee's frame? He has two older brothers, both over 6'3" and 180 lbs. Were they late growers, too?

He gonna be good. Really wanted the Rangers to try to trade up to the middle of the first round and grab him. Bad enough not getting him, him going to Philly is so much worse.

 

[Lion Hound]

He was my favorite player in the draft. Wish him the best of luck in Philly. I think you guys got a heck of a player.

Safe bet he's mostly done growing in height.

As a NYI fan, I was shocked to get what we got. Farabee was absolutely next on my list, and it was whom I thought we'd be getting.

He reminds me a lot of Josh Bailey, who would've turned out much better much sooner if NYI hadn't rushed him into the NHL.

I assumed so, but that doesn't answer my question.

 

[TT1]

Farabee was also one of my favs, hes gonna be a good 1.

farabee has a fantastic wrist shot,and is more sniper than bailey.
