Speculation: Joel Farabee to NYR??

[MisterT]

Who or what is a Jon Bailey?

Was the name of the drug and coffee fueled dumb kid who used to pump gas in my car 25 years ago.

It would be worth it just for the discourse.

Its fascinating to think Flyers may move Farabee and Frost to appease f***ing Torts

Jesus people have some an irrational vendetta against Torts on this site

Funny thing is I just traded Trouba for him in NHK 24 franchise mode

As a Canes fan with no attachment involved I’ll say that Farabee is probably only of the least likely to be moved players in the NHL at this moment and Kakko + Rangers 1st wouldn’t get it done.

Farabee being only a year older than Kakko has shown the exact kind of development and improvement year on year that you expect and hope from your draft picks, compared to one of the most high profile busts in recent history.

Farabee is signed to a deal you would already call fair and will undoubtedly become a bargain deal as the cap keeps increasing and especially if he can reach another level or two. You also have to look at Philly’s cap issues this year and the general make up of their squad and think about how teams like to build for the future to consider Farabee is a piece you keep and build around.

Johansen, Atkinson, and Ristolainen are eating up 15 mil in cap this year, with the former two coming off the books next summer. Not sure about Risto’s LTIR status but if he’s deemed fit he’s on the books 3 more years at 5. If the Flyers are trying to bring in younger pieces to build for the future they’re much more likely to deal Konecny either this summer or at the deadline given he’s in his last year and would bring back a decent package for a team looking to build younger.

Flyer’s fans can correct me if I misspoke on anything here.

Farabee was pretty terrible the last half of the season and didn’t show the progression Danny B was hoping for.

Combined with a glut of wingers (TK, Michkov, Tippett, Foerster are the top 6 wingers) and the needs we have, he’s been an almost sure thing to be moved this offseason for a while now. Every reliable beat reporter has said that.

There’s nothing irrational about disliking a millionaire manbaby that alienates anyone with a modicum of talent with nothing to show for it in the last 20 years other than getting out of the first round 3 times.

We don't have a glut of wingers, we have a glut of right wingers, and moving Farabee, the one of the bunch who is actually a LW, doesn't alleviate the actual glut in the slightest. I'm not opposed to moving him, but roster balance isn't the reason why moving him makes sense.

Everyone, try to picture Kakko getting yelled at by Torts. Is that a relationship that is being given the best chance to succeed?

Funny enough, the Rangers have way more LW than we do RW so we'd be experiencing similar roster balance issues in such a swap.

Rangers offer Kakko, 1st?

NO NO NO
Rs should not be making a bid, let alone overpaying, for overrated Farra.

Also, Rs braintrust may be too stupid to listen to me, and instead do win now proven to = epic fail, and with that trade KK
BUT
we are not extending Panarin; he won't be offered anything that he can consider b'c and the result is not a good look that will seem an insult, best for everyone if he waives to FL [he is a fit and they are concerned about Rein walking away ufa. Rs get Mikkola x 2 + cap relief.
In such ^ realistic construct, keeping young W talent w/upside is preferential to stupid selling at a loss.

I will always be a Rangers fan,
BUT
if they continue to ignore my good advice and put us through the failed results, their braintrust can bite me.

Pushed hard for Farabee to be the Rangers pick in 2018. I could see Drury wanting him on the Rangers. Would be surprised if it happens at the draft though. Rangers trading thier 1st when the draft is in Dolans building? If anything, i would think they would like to move up in the draft.

Kakko is pretty responsible. I guess Torts would yell at him for not shooting the puck or driving it to the net, but I'm not sure he'd be blasted by Torts for his play without the puck.

WIll Faraaee help NY to take down Florida next year.

1st round pick wont do but willing to hear offers, sure. Wny not.

 

[Tripod]

Farabee has been a very good 5v5 scorer. It's the Flyers pathetic PP suppressing his point, among others. If moved, expect a jump in pts.

Flyers are idiots if they move him...and Frost for that matter. But I have come to terms that the organization as a whole has archaic views and will always do something dumb.

Not trading Laughton for a 1st+ last year only to trade Farabee/Frost this year, will be the next idiotic move.

He had three less points than Tippett who apparently showed enough “progression” to get a massive extension.

It’s really comical that you go round defending Torts like he’s your daddy whenever it’s pointed out that he’s doing what he always does - picking fights with good players, forcing them to be moved at a discount. Not to mention the fact his league worst by a long distance powerplay is depressing all the forwards’ stats, further lowering their value.

 

[Rythashocka]

I remember torts benching Farabee for the entire game after his first shift because he did something torts didn't like.

Farabee isn't a bad player whatsoever, in the right system he could probably get 65 points.

Show me where Torts touched you

 

[Torontonian]

Philly Joel is a player that would really intrigue me. Has shown improvement points wise every season, signed for another 4 years at a good cap hit of 5m, and is 24 years old. He's the exact type of player I think where you would get tons of value for him on his last 3 years of his deal.

He's someone I would hope Toronto would be in on if he's up for a trade.
