Sean Farrell is part of a massive 2020 Montreal Canadiens draft class that features some head-scratching picks and others that look like absolute steals in hindsight. Farrell falls very much into that latter category as it stands right now. He was considered a second- to third-round talent in his draft year, and after a 101-point season with Chicago in the USHL, his stock only continues to rise.
Originally, Farrell was set to take the ice for Harvard in the NCAA but due to the Covid-19 pandemic, all Ivy League winter sports were cancelled, forcing him to return to the USHL for another season.
