Philadelphia Flyers forward Joel Farabee has been talked about often in the rumor mill this season. This was also the case during this past off-season, so he is a player worth paying attention to as we get closer to the 2025 NHL Trade Deadline.

Due to this, let’s go over three potential trade destinations for Farabee if they decide to move him.
Buffalo Sabres
The Buffalo Sabres stand out as a prime potential landing spot for Farabee. It is no secret that they could use a top-six winger right now, and Farabee is just that when playing at his best.

The Sabres have been connected to Farabee in the past, and it ultimately makes sense when looking at their group. In addition, the struggling Sabres have the money to take on the Syracuse, New York native’s $5 million cap hit with ease.
Anaheim Ducks
The Anaheim Ducks are a young and exciting team on the rise. When noting that they have plenty of cap space and are looking to be more competitive, they could be a club to watch when it comes to Farabee.

This is especially so when noting that Farabee would be far more than a rental, as he is under contract until the end of 2027-28. Thus, he could be a nice long-term part of the Ducks’ top six if acquired.
Chicago Blackhawks
The Chicago Blackhawks could use more wingers to help Connor Bedard, so they could be a club to watch regarding Farabee. When looking at their lineup, he would be a potential fit in their top six and power play.

The Blackhawks also have an array of pending UFA forwards like Taylor Hall, Ryan Donato, Pat Maroon, and Craig Smith. Thus, a skilled player with term like Farabee could grab their attention.
