The Flyers would therefore have to make room for him in the offense:

"Joel Farabee is a guy who, in my opinion, has the tools to interest the Canadiens if the Canadiens want to proceed with a trade." - Marc Antoine Godin

It's a possibility to keep in mind anyway.
Farabee absolutely fits the description of what Kent Hughes is looking for in his next Kirby Dach/Alex Newhook, and additionally, the Flyers want to add reinforcement on defense.
This makes Kent Hughes and Daniel Brière intriguing trading partners.

Farabee, 24 years old, 14th overall pick (1st round) in 2018, has amassed 182 points in 334 career NHL games, including 82 goals.
