Speculation: 2024-25 - Free Agency/Trade Thread

I wonder if farabee would be available? He's making $5 million a year for a few more years, only six goals and 14 points in 42 games after scoring 22 goals and 50 points last season. Maybe a buy-low candidate?

Bit of a risk, but that's kind of where we are at when trying to upgrade our forward talent. No sure-thing guys are going to be available at prices we should be paying, and farabee is only 24.

He seems to stick up for teammates and drops the gloves when needed too ( he’s not a very good fighter ) but verbeek will love that he sticks up for teammates and drops em, he can score goals too. He’s another left shot, and he’s not very big. But I definitely like the idea of adding a player who can score and is age appropriate over another draft pick ( unless someone like tkachuk or necas becomes available) then we could use all the draft capital we can get I suppose

I don't think there's a chance we'd get Farabee in a Gibson trade without adding. He's as solid as a middle 6 winger as they come. He'd be our second best winger after Terry.

Phillys goalies have been awful…. Depends how desperate Philly is.

Just an idea tho, would be a decent forward target that could be plausible for Gibson

I'd do it in a heartbeat.
