MTL are not interested in trading Farrell for either Ruzicka or Pelletier.
Today on radio, Bob Hartley said Farrell comparable is Gaudreau.
I thought CGY would be interested in Farrell, who is as good as Coronato. For fun, how high a pick would you ask for Coronato?
I think Pelletier is a better Gaudreau comparable myself. Farrell seems like more of a Jonathan Huberdeau or Drouin Type Player = Pass First / Play Maker
I'd say Coronato's value has only gone up, he's worth a 5th to 13th Overall Draft Pick and Pelletier's value has gone up as well, probably a Top 10-15th Overall Pick after absolutely dominating in the AHL putting up 1.00PPG+ in his 1st + 2nd seasons. Ruzicka's might be a late 1st or early 2nd. I mean the guy has some work to do on his game, but he's proven he can produce offence; 0.41PPG with just 11:02ATOI in the NHL is Excellent AND he was putting up 1.00PPG+ in the AHL as well
Coronato > Farrell. You gotta keep in mind, neither have played Professional AHL Hockey and College isn't the same level. Also, Farrell is 1 year older than Coronato, so it's all great and stuff that Farrell out produced Coronato this season, but what do you think Coronato would do next season!? Better to compare Farrell's 2021-22 Season of 10G+18A=28PTS/24GP to Coronato's 2022-23 Seaason of 18G+18A=36PTS/34GP if you truly wanted to compare apples to apples. Farrell appears to be the Better Play Maker, while Coronato is the Better Scorer. Other things that make Coronato more valuable are his Right Shot, Size, Speed and the fact he Plays Centre
So while I agree with you that Farrell's value has increased significantly due to his fantastic 3 Seasons after being Drafted, he's still not as Good or Valuable as Coronato and therefore might be worth a very late 1st Round Pick, but imo is worth more like a mid-2nd + B Prospect
We need Coronato, so to answer your question, I doubt we'd even consider Trading him, but if we did, it would have to be for a Bigger Top-10 Pick, preferably being another Right Shot Centre otherwise a Right Shot Defenseman that we like/want more than Coronato
