If he wants out, a great offer is put on the table, or they are out by the deadline, then that changes things. Even then I think this is a 2026 summer conversation at the earliest.

I've heard it mentioned several times, including by Pat Steinberg, that Farabee is viewed as a Coleman replacement of sorts.
I think our winger depth isn't necessarily bad. We lack legit first liners but we have alot of 2nd and 3rd line calibre wingers with some still developing that could be more.
I just feel like him and Andersson are the most logical to trade. They both have solid league wide value, are older, have expiring contracts upcoming in the next 2 seasons and don't play C, our biggest positional weakness.
I feel like a winger is headed out the door. Lomberg is seen as a staple on the 4th line so who doesn't play when everyone is healthy?
