Let me clarify - Farabee as a prospect reminds me of Josh Bailey right now (and not as a young player). It's the way he facilitates others with quick little plays on the boards. Take it as a compliment or ignore it.

I was really worried Farabee would not be there for us because I figured the Isles would pick him with one of their 1st, but Arizona and New York shifted our fortunes (though I would have been happy with Kravstov at 14 too).

This was my favorite prospect in the draft. Not saying I think he'll be the best player, I just really like his game and think guys like this are very valuable. It will not shock me if we see that Wahlstrom was a product of this kid (and Hughes), not vice versa.
Hard as a Ranger fan to always see my favorite prospects end up on divisional rivals.

2 is better than one
Most goal scorers of Walhstrom's ilk are "products" of whoever the playmaker is on the line.

Arizona and New York going off the board a bit set the Flyers up perfectly for Farabee.

Philly building up with some beauties up front that could be a cup winning fwd core for many years: Patrick, Konecny, Frost, Farabee, Etc

I think he was always a realistic option there. But, Dallas just before you went really off the board too.

I had both Farabee and Dellandrea ahead of Hayton. I like the Dellandrea pick a lot, actually.

Thats right! Totally forgot about the Dellandrea pick.
Jim Nills drafting is gonna get him fired one day
My point more was, while Hayton was considered a reach, odds were he still would have probably been picked by 14 for the Flyers. Kravtsov was a real wild card, but him going top 13 wasn't unexpected (at least for me, I've had Kravtsov to the Rangers long before draft night). I'm not bashing the Dallas pick (even if I wouldn't have made it), but him being picked at 13 is really the only reach that I think was unexpected and therefore impacted who was there at 14.

Flyer fans can watch Farabee throughout the season since BU offers free livestreams of most of its home games, as do many of its Hockey East opponents. Farabee will likely begin the season as BU’s second line left wing.

Patrick, Couturier, Frost, Farabee, O Brien, Konecny, Lindblom, Ratcliffe, Allison up front. Provorov, Ghost, Sanheim, Myers, Hagg, Morin on the back end. And Hart in net. Should be fun watching this team the next several years.

2 goals and 3 assists for 5 points in his first 7 NCAA games, coming along nicely for Philadelphia! Was one of my favorite prospects from last years draft.

3 assists tonight for Farabee but BU loses another. Weren’t they expected to be good this year? Their lineup looks really good.
Hat trick 12 minutes into the game...

He’s a puck hound out there. Looks a bit like a young Parise to me.

Farabee will look great on Morgan Frosts wing on the Flyers in a year or two.
