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

Honestly they're out performing with how terrible Flames have played since they came in. Blue line is an embarassment.

Weegar is doing his best but there's 4 guys that should be fighting for the #6 spot.

As far as I understand Farabee and Frost both have 1 goal in 3 2/3 games for Calgary, and the Flames are loosing their 3rd out of 4 games...

Make that one point each in 4 games now.....

Farabee has looked good so far.

It’s how he’s been for the last seasons worth of games. Looks real good; doesn’t actually score.

He’s great on advanced stats and theoretical goals. Just not actual ones.

Frost doing what he does; flashes a highlight reel goal then goes dark for a while. Then suddenly he’ll have a 2-3 point night and then disappears for the next 5 games.

They both have talent. But it’s the same song and dance for 3 years now.

Not gonna judge both players on wins-losses but 2 pts in 8 games cant be viewed as good start. Bar is low so far for Kuzmenko and Pelletier.

Not so much into advanced stats but recent hockeystats cards were not good like at all, especially last one.

4 games each is far too small of a sample size, and they hadn't even had a practice with the team until they'd played 3 games. Both players have had scoring chances and have created scoring chances (Farabee also had a goal called back). Considering the circumstances and the heavy sked when they were acquired, there is no complaints from Flames fans about these players.

They were in fine form when traded and used to bad schedule. Except for TK, Tortorella basically runs 3 lines 14-16 mins and 4th getting 12.

Guys coming in have been idle for too long at this point and they will need time to get back to speed which is perfectly fine.

Philly has no idea what a tough schedule is like, over the course of a season the Flames travel ~10k more miles than Philly. Frost and Farabee had to played 3 game sin 4 nights, not just in different cities, but different time zones. And they are still in "fine form", but you need time to learn your linemates and their tendencies.
