Instant Analysis: Joel Farabee Will Sign His ELC

NHL: NHL Draft
Jun 22, 2018; Dallas, TX, USA; Joel Farabee poses for a photo with team representatives after being selected as the number fourteen overall pick to the Philadelphia Flyers in the first round of the 2018 NHL Draft at American Airlines Center.

The Philadelphia Flyers motto is to remain patient and await the course. This is an uncommon practice in year’s past for the Flyers organization. However, Flyers fans are now beginning to see the transformation of a young Flyers team that is stocking up for long-term success. Fans are hoping it pays off within the next few years with a parade down Broad Street. With a sniper in the future like Joel Farabee anything is possible.

This young up and coming prospect in Farabee will sign his Entry-Level Contract later today with the big club against all the odds. Farabee shockingly will forgo his Sophmore season, and will most likely report to the Lehigh Valley Phantoms next season. Farabee stands at 6’1,” weighing 170 pounds, so he will need to bulk up his frame before he enters the NHL for good.

Farabee was born on February 25, 2000, in Cicero, NY. He entered the NCAA with a force in just his first season as a Boston Terrier. For the season, he finished 48th in the NCAA in scoring, as Farabee potted 17 goals, and tallied 19 assists. He was just a Freshman…a Freshman putting up this type of stats. 

Hopefully, Farabee will pan out the way the Flyers envision him to. Farabee has the heart, the will, and the strength to become a Top 6 Gem for the Flyers. Without a doubt, he will become a household name in the NHL for years to come in the future.
