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

Yes. Flyers shed a decent amount of cap in this too.

Frost ($2.1M)
Farabee ($5M)

for

Kuzmenko ($5.5M)
Pelletier ($800K)

That would only save the Flyers $800K, that's not all that meaningful.

Frost has been in that organization for almost 8 years, his underachieving pre-dates Tortorella and that's part of why I made my comment, they just can't help but whine about him at every opportunity even though it's completely off-base most of the time. Their roster on paper is probably bottom quarter of the league (at best) since he took over and they sure as hell aren't underachieving compared to the players they have. Plus they have no goaltending. It's absolutely ridiculous to read their board and the comments in this thread.

The Flyers are the 6th worst team on the league under Torts and dead last on the PP because the guy and his cronies can’t coach offense to save their lives. They’re even f***ing up a can’t miss prospect like Michkov.

Brzustewicz went from putting up 92 points in 67 games in the OHL to 15 point in 42 games in the AHL. The guy the Flames drafted with the 1st seems to be having an underwhelming D+1 year as well.

It really looks like a lose-lose to me.



Lmao I couldn't think of a lesser fit for Kuzmenko than playing for John Tortorella.

This has to be a spite move, no?

Brzustewicz is in his D+2 (not 19 though like the other poster said, he’s a late November birthday) and Gridin is top 10 in QMJHL scoring his first year in the league. Take a lap.

Sommerman is a hack.

Always some people willing to believe anything but the most obvious answer.

 

[Fatass]

Is this one of those “change of scenery” kinds of trades?

Eh, Frost played the equivalent of one full season prior to Torts thanks to injuries and team philosophy. And while he didn't light the world on fire, the Flyers undervaluing and underutilizing young skill players (and then throwing them away) also predates Torts. Tortsism is a symptom, not the disease with them. Think that's the part you're missing, honestly.

Flames insider stating hes been told Frost is coming back

Legit insider, or CalPuck insider lol

 

[Ledge And Dairy]

Maybe they want Pelts' dad?

 

[BigDaddyLurch]

...poor Torts...this is probably the Heart Attack Waiting to Happen...

 

[Chainshot]

I guess it's time to fire up the popcorn maker for real and see if this all gets laid out tonight.

 

[Ledge And Dairy]

...poor Torts...this is probably the Heart Attack Waiting to Happen...

Nah he'll love Pelts

 

[DudeWhereIsMakar]

Wonder if this ends up being Ristolainen.

 

[Bone Density]

 

[herashak]

If frost can win faceoffs that’s huge

 

[BigDaddyLurch]

Nah he'll love Pelts

...and absolutely HATE Kuzmenko...

 

[Mrfenn92]

Wonder if this ends up being Ristolainen.

Not really a fit for Calgary with Weegar Andersson and pachal

 

[Zirakzigil]

Wonder if this ends up being Ristolainen.

I was thinking that. Lot of smoke around Farabee though

 

[Rich Nixon]

Bad news for you.

I mean if you ignore the remaining 3 years and 17.75m on Farabeee's deal after this season.

 

[Bond]

Is this one of those “change of scenery” kinds of trades?

Like a struggling player like I said

 

[Jumptheshark]

Torts will go nuts dealing with Kuz

 

[ponder719]

This is his first year clear of 50%, but he's been 51.6% this year.

 

[Kielbasa]

Nah he'll love Pelts

Very defensively responsible, surprisingly good pk guy.

 

[crazyfisherman]

This is his first year clear of 50%, but he's been 51.6% this year.

Even a high 40% center man would raise our atrocious team % lol

 

[Kielbasa]

Weegar plays both sides.
