David Farrance

AHL Notes: Farrance, Mullin, Cosgrove, Calder, Martin

August 15, 2023 at 12:08 pm CDT | by Josh Erickson 1 Comment

The Toronto Marlies have signed defenseman David Farrance to a one-year, two-way contract, according to The Hockey News’ Jacob Stoller. A 2017 third-round pick of the Nashville Predators, Farrance spent last season on an AHL contract split between the Chicago Wolves and Colorado Eagles. He finished the 2022-23 season with three goals, 21 assists, 24 points, and a -7 rating in 45 games.

Farrance was a rather highly-touted addition when he turned pro with Nashville to end the 2020-21 campaign. He had just rattled off two seasons above a point-per-game at Boston University and was in the conversation to earn a spot on the team out of camp to begin 2021-22. However, the following season unfolded disastrously. Not only did he not make Nashville’s opening-night roster, he struggled mightily in his first pro season. In 50 games on assignment with AHL Milwaukee, Farrance struggled to maintain a spot in the lineup and posted middling defensive metrics, finishing with a goal and 13 assists for 14 points. After completing his two-year entry-level contract, Nashville did not issue Farrance a qualifying offer in the summer of 2022 and relinquished his NHL rights. Extending Farrance a two-way deal means if the Marlies assign him to ECHL Newfoundland, he’ll receive a lesser salary.

A handful of other AHL signings today:

  • The Hartford Wolf Pack have agreed to terms with forward Tristan Mullin on a one-year AHL contract, per a team release. Mullin will play with the New York Rangers’ affiliate after spending the 2022-23 season in the Seattle Kraken’s farm system with both AHL Coachella Valley and ECHL Kansas City. The 26-year-old center is now entering his fourth pro season and will fight for a fourth-line role in Hartford after recording 25 points in 25 ECHL games last season.
  • The Bridgeport Islanders are bringing back depth defenseman Trevor Cosgrove for the 2023-24 campaign, the team announced Tuesday. Cosgrove, 26, appeared in nine games for Bridgeport last season, his first professional campaign after five NCAA seasons with Colgate and Western Michigan. Bridgeport could return the left-shot New Hampshire native to ECHL Worcester, where he led defensemen in goals last season with five goals and 21 points in 40 games.
  • Bridgeport also signed 25-year-old forward Ashton Calder to an AHL deal for 2023-24. Calder signed on with the ECHL’s Florida Everblades at the end of 2022-23 after finishing out his fifth college year at Penn State, and he quickly fit right in. In 17 playoff games, Calder recorded three goals and six points, playing an important depth role en route to winning a Kelly Cup championship in his first taste of pro hockey. With the Islanders lacking forward depth at the AHL level, he’s a name to watch to crack the Bridgeport roster in training camp next month.
  • Defenseman Max Martin has signed a two-way contract with the Ontario Reign, per Stoller. The 24-year-old undrafted free agent won a WHL championship with the Prince Albert Raiders in 2019 and earned ECHL Second All-Star Team honors last year, finishing second on the Greenville Swamp Rabbits in scoring with 14 goals, 38 assists and 52 points in 66 games along with a strong +26 rating. He’ll look to build on his previously acquired 22 games of AHL experience, all spent with the Texas Stars between 2020 and 2022.

David Farrance Traded In AHL

December 2, 2022 at 10:02 am CDT | by Gavin Lee Leave a Comment

The Chicago Wolves have completed a pair of minor league trades, sending David Farrance to the Colorado Eagles and acquiring Alex Green from the Laval Rocket. Both deals are for future considerations.

Farrance, 23, was a third-round pick of the Nashville Predators in 2017 and a Hobey Baker candidate at one point in college, but has fallen nearly completely off the map in the years since. He signed a two-year contract with the Predators in 2021, with the first year burning at the end of the 2020-21 season, and spent all of last year with the Milwaukee Admirals.

At the end of his entry-level deal, the Predators decided to leave him unqualified, making him a free agent. An AHL deal with the Wolves followed, but after 14 games he’s on his way out of that organization too.

That said, the Eagles do have a reputation for reclamation projects, especially defensemen. Perhaps they will be able to turn around his career and get it back on a track that one day leads to the NHL.

In 14 games this season, he had five points.
