Speculation: What is Joel Farabee's Ceiling?

Joel Farabee’s Evolution: Development Breakdown

So I labeled it speculation, but given Farabee is so young with room to grow his game even more, I questioned making it prospect info. Ultimately since he is a full-time Flyer, prospect seems inaccurate. I wrote up an article about why Joel Farabee is a different player this season. I really would like to know what Flyers fans think though. How good do you think Joel Farabee will be? Is he Elite? 1st liner? Top 6? Next season what kind of player do you think he will be?

Ceiling is high-end 1st liner but I dont think he'll be "elite." Extemely valuable. Love his game.

Very fair, I think he will be one of the best players in his respective position in the NHL. I believed he was a steal at 14th overall and I believe he is a steal now. Still a lot of room for growth, but I am very confident he will be near if not over a consistent point per game player in the future. His IQ will separate him when his skills are fully matured.

Do you have your adenoids?

Farabee is the kind of player who does everything well. He's already a very complete player and he's only in his second year and only 20 years old. Most nights he's the youngest player on the ice, but he never looks like it.
I like every aspect of his game. He's smart, he's skilled, he's responsible defensively, he has some sandpaper, and this year he's shown that he also has a pretty good shot.
Sky is the limit for him.

Came here to ask.

Do you have your adenoids?

I have never had an Adenoidectomy, so yeah I believe I do

Huh. That's...well that's something.

Does Goal Farabee have his adenoids?

Adenoids are important immunological organs, but they can be removed to improve upper respiratory tract irritation as well as ear infections.

Oh boy...

Look at the thread about Couturier transitioning to D

I see. Im not seeing the connection to this thread though?

I find this whole discussion adenoying.

 

[DrinkFightFlyers]

I think he'll be a future captain of the team (after Giroux passes it to Coots and eventually to Farabee). Won't be as flashy as Giroux with high point totals pretty much year in year out, but I do think he'll have a handful of seasons at PPG or slightly better.

 

[DrinkFightFlyers]

Not sure if that makes him elite or face of the franchise so I just went with 1st liner.

 

[romulus augustulus]

This guy just gives me a Chase Utley feel. Whatever that means. So 1st liner.

Yep, I had them removed when I was a kid because they were constantly inflamed giving me constant headaches and migraines

I was a chronic allergy/ear infection sufferer. Haven't had issues since!!

 

[rinaldo]

Will he surpass Brayden Schenn in terms of a better NHL player?

 

[Rich Nixon]

This guy just gives me a Chase Utley feel. Whatever that means. So 1st liner.

He's going to go around hurting members of the Mets?

 

[Appleyard]

Pre-draft I thought he was a future 30 goal, 70-75 point guy.

I think about the same still. Given his level at age 19 and 20 it would be unlikely he did not at least become a 60 point scorer.

 

[Beef Invictus]

I haven't a clue, which means this will be fun for me.
