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

[Zirakzigil]

They don’t see Risto that way.

Clearly they did with Farabee

Yeah. I am shocked at the lack of value the Flyers got. Basically a 2nd and a bottom 6 energy guy.

 

[treple13]

After the Rantanen trade, this feels very underwhelming. I am disappoint.

Even if you added Wolf and Mishkov, would that even get to Rantanen levels yet?

 

[ponder719]

Pelletier was waived early in the season, but he's been good since his call-up. Still see a middle six winger in him

Only problem is that the Flyers have about 12 middle 6 wingers. It's centers we don't have, and we just traded one of our two.

 

[SI90]

I feel like the Flames did really well here.

 

[Rich Nixon]

pretty big risk for the flames taking on farabee but the flyers will have a lot of cap maybe to take a run at Marner or Rantanen.

So they can finally build the all RW, no C team that everyone is striving for.

As a Flames fan, I expect us to do stupid things all the time. Giving up Bennett for nothing, trading a first to get rid of Monahan, etc etc

We got essentially 2 2nds for Bennett after he had just 12 points in 38 games. Calgary's mistake was mismanagement on him, we got far more for him than his production indicated at the time.

You guys can have Christian Dvorak. He's really mid! Torts would probably love him.

every Flyers fan rn

 

[Larry Hanson]

Hate to see Pelts go, he could still turn into a good player, but at first glance I like it. Kuz has little to no value (at least to the Flames) with how he's been playing this year.

 

[Deadpool8812]

As a Flyers fan I say WTF is Briere doing?

Once again a Flyers GM getting forced by the HC to trade players and get awful value for them

 

[The don godfather]

Stop. It’s a fine contract.

19 points so far this year? He better pick it up if not philly did ok here.

 

[God]

from chuck fletcher to danny briere

i am so sorry philly fans

 

[Sergei Shirokov]

I thought Briere seemed to have control of things, if they are really catering to the coach... that's bad.

Its one thing to work with the coach on what they'd like when you are a playoff/contending team, but when your more-so in the rebuilding part of your cycle.. it makes no sense. Seems very risky to the process imo.

The dumb thing was using him as a bottom 6 winger for the duration of his career in Calgary and then moving him for a ‘whatever’ return. Promptly goes to top 6 center on a cup winning team is very Flames-ee

 

[SnS]

Torts hates him.

adding Rantanen would be huge for the flyers they could trade one of their picks and extra wingers for a centre.

 

[Rubi]

Gotta think there are a lot of disappointed Flyers fans out despite a few posters putting their best pro Philly spin on the trade

 

[Double Dion]

I don't see how this can be anything but a win for us. I really like Pelletier, but he's still a 5'10" winger who is really closer to 5'8". The 2nd and Pelletier are real value. Kuzmenko is a lottery ticket. He might get hot for a stretch and carry your offense, but in the end he's a bad bet.

 

[TopShelfWaterBottle]

Nothing burger

 

[Internazionale]

What's Phillly doing and thinking? Ooof.

 

[Mobiandi]

I wish I could see a bright spot for this for Philly but I don’t. Kuzmenko is slow and isn’t shooting much this year. Pelletier is a heart and soul guy but has stone hands and a muffin shot.

We got essentially 2 2nds for Bennett after he had just 12 points in 38 games. Calgary's mistake was mismanagement on him, we got far more for him than his production indicated at the time.

Bennett was ppg in his last 14 games leading up to the trade and rescinded his request after Sutter was hired. It was an idiotic trade as soon as it went through

 

[LTIR]

Losing the 2028 7th round pick will haunt the Flames for ages

 

[Three On Zero]

Hey, @Canucks LB make a trade already!

No.

 

[BringBackHakstol]

If the Flyers are involved with doing anything, just assume they took the L and a huge L at that. Really horrible, Danny is a joke getting controlled by Torts like a marionette
