Controversial Sean Farrell rumour involving the Canadiens has just been contradicted

So far, newcomer Sean Farrell has only played in four games for the Habs since his arrival in Montreal.

The 21-year-old forward has missed the last two games and has been in the press box watching the action from above to analyze the speed of play.

In connection with his absence in a losing season where there is no play in the Tricolore, a controversial rumor surfaced that the CH organization would not want the young man to play five games because it would mean he would pocket a performance bonus.

Of course, this is a plausible hypothesis, but very unrealistic. In fact, journalist Renaud Lavoie of TVA Sports has bluntly stated that this rumor is false and unfounded. In his opinion, it is not a $25,000 bonus that would prevent Martin St-Louis from using it.

It would rather be a decision made for the best of his development.

With the vacancies left by the departure of Rafael Harvey-Pinard and Jesse Ylonen, who were dealt to Laval, it is absolutely certain that we will see the fourth round pick in 2020 play at least one of the two remaining games.

The reporter also said that there has been a definite improvement in Farrell's game and attitude since his arrival a few days ago.

So it's encouraging for the development of the Harvard University alumnus, who will be able to work very hard over the summer to advance his game, knowing precisely what aspect he needs to work on in order to make his mark in the National League.

As for the rumor of the Habs refusing to pay him his $25,000 bonus, it's downright ridiculous.
