Prospect Info: Rookie Camp 2019

Not sure I like Farabee at 187 already, while a lot of players put on 25-30 lbs in 3-4 years after the combine, 25 lbs in two years is a bit fast.
On the other hand, given his frame (and his genetics, see his brothers), 162 lbs was really light.
We'll see how he handles his new weight - but he's big enough for the NHL now if it's good weight.

That’s a about half a pound per week, that’s a pretty decent pace.

Edit: quarter pound. That’s definitely reasonable

Depends on the player, Frost added 15 lbs in a year and looked sluggish last summer, now he's better suited to play at 185 a year later.

Farabee added 25 lbs in ONE year, my bad, 162 last summer at the combine, now reportedly at 187. That's awfully fast. In a couple years he may fill out to 6'1 200 or so, but it usually takes time to put on GOOD weight (lean muscle, not fat).

Farabee has the frame to carry more weight than Frost, but it still takes time to build a new body (Gentlemen, we can rebuild him. We have the technology. . . . Better than he was before. Better, stronger, faster)

 

[TheKingPin]

I think the avg make can put on something like 1lb of muscle a week. Still, that does seem fast.

Wonder if they will purposely have Farabee and Frost on different lines. Unless they can both make it!

 

[TheKingPin]

Lucky bastard. Im at 190 at the moment and I am on a 1500 calorie per day limit on weekdays. I have no metabolism whatsoever. I'd be 180 if I didnt love craft beer lol

Have you tried intermittent fasting? It really works.

The average is closer to .25 to .5 per week and usually closer to the .25.

Especially when he’s playing and practicing so much. Honestly, I would think that would be near impossible.

Farabee is 177 not 187. He didn’t train with JVR, relax.

Yeah gaining strength and explosiveness in the muscle groups you want too in season is really hard.

Nope. Farabee says he's 187.

Nope. He deleted the tweet and reposted it.



Crisis averted!

 

[deadhead]

Well, that sounds more credible. 15 lbs is a lot (too much for Frost last year) but doable for someone with Farabee's frame at his age.
But 6'0 177 is a bit slight for the NHL, especially a player who likes to hang out in "dirty" areas.

 

[Striiker]

177?

That bulimic skeleton could never play in the NHL.

Let me know when he’s 200+

 

[deadhead]

Farabee isn't a "space" player like Frost or Giroux, he likes to go to the net and fight for pucks along the boards.
So yeah, 177 is very light for that role, it's hard to maintain leverage at that weigh against 200+ lb men.

 

[hatcher]

177 he better star right away.

Sure

 

[bennysflyers16]

Damn. Just put him on the team now.

I’m barely at 165 and can’t seem to gain any weight. I don’t even exercise that much.

165 !!!!!

Are you 4 feet tall

Nope. He deleted the tweet and reposted it.

I cannot begin to describe the herculean implications of this tweet. Monstrous.

 

[deadhead]

JVR lost his mini-me.

 

[Rebels57]

 

[SolidSnakeUS]

Honestly, if Pitlick is out for a while, I'd love to have him on the 4th line with Laughton and Raffl.

I still want Farabee or Frost to be on the 3rd line. Farabee could definitely fit with Patrick and Lindblom on the right.

Liked for the $6 Million Man reference.
