Farrell has been placed on waivers by the Canadiens for the purpose of assigning him to AHL Laval, the team announced Sunday.
Farrell has yet to play a game in the NHL since a six-game stint in 2022-23 following the conclusion of his sophomore season at Harvard University. That will continue into at least the start of this campaign with his assignment to the minors. The 23-year-old had a good year with Laval in 2024-25, supplying 20 goals and 24 assists in 67 regular-season appearances.
