The Flyers have signed Joel Farabee to a six-year contract worth an average annual value of $5 million, according to the team’s official website. Farabee will play the 2021-22 season on his entry-level contract with a $925,000 cap hit.
The 21-year-old left-winger had a breakout season in 2020-21. He hit the 20-goal mark with a pair of tallies in the final game of the season, which broke the tie with Sean Couturier and secured him with the team lead.
