2020 NHL Draft prospect profile: Sean Farrell stands out as a strong playmaker

When a player of smaller stature with some flaws comes up on the draft board, a team has to analyze whether or not their strengths make up for those issues. Sean Farrell is one such player that falls into that category — he isn’t overly large and he doesn’t shine as a goal scorer.

However, Farrell is a fantastic playmaker. Using his hockey IQ and awareness to find teammates in scoring areas helped to power a very strong Chicago Steel team this past year. While he lined up with two of the top goal scorers on the team, Farrell is a huge part in creating those goals and generating that vaunted Chicago attack.
