Confirmed Trade: [CGY/PHI] Morgan Frost, Joel Farabee for Andrei Kuzmenko, Jakob Pelletier, 2025 2nd, 2028 7th

Like the trade from both sides. But it was funny that Frost has more goals with the Flames (one) than the Flyers scored in the past three games.

All I want to say is that :

1) Briere saying they made this deal to free up some cap/flexibility when seeking the C they desire
2) such players, as mentioned here, being available each offseason on ''open market''

..it all seems to make sense when you look at it without context/purely rationally, but... This franchise has been stuck in mediocrity for a decade. It's normal to be extremely sceptical Flyers can do any of the two above (manage to fetch a good C // pick such players up elsewhere) until it actually happens. Thus far it really hasn't been the case. Instead, we have Deslauriers w a NTC and Luchanko as the best (and only) C prospect thus far.

Philly fans, this might interest you, on After Hours last night, Scott Oake and Ryan Leslie interviewed Dustin Wolf, and when asked about the trade his exact words describing Pelletier was "Pelts is the face of the room in there", which I find to be extremely high praise, especially since Wolf has played with Pelts his entire pro career at both the AHL and NHL level.

Wolf pelts...

Frost and Flames...

Now I see why this trade happened.
