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

Fake news.

bummer
Watched Hunter play for Kitchener.

I would've done Hoglander & a pick for Farabee. I think he's got real potential as a top 6 FWD, and still only 24.

Getting him & Frost for that seems great for the Flames. Pelletier isn't bad but was on waivers & hasn't really established himself. How do they move that package of younger players & not atleast prioritize a 1st?

Catered to Torts.
Worries about making friends with GMs.

I've always liked Philly as a Flames fans, was a huge fan of Giroux...but what they have been doing for the past decade has been dumb move after dumb move. Glad the Flames finally got involved, because this is awful for Philly in my homer opinion.

 

[Mobiandi]

Uh thanks Philly

I like this trade on the Flyers side. Farabee and Frost were going nowhere fast on the Flyers. Getting Kuzmenko to be on a line with Michkov is brilliant!

They could have picked kuzmenko up for a 3rd, or probably less, and gotten a much better return for Farabee and Frost.

 

[Strangelove]

Torts on Kuz after like 10 minutes.

Is farabee really that bad?

No.

He has 6 points in his last 8 games. He's definitely been taking off since being brought back up. GM's were sleeping when he was on waivers

Pelletier was also on waivers just a few months ago.

The 2nd is the most valuable asset leaving the Flames for two middle six forwards.

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.

 

[Luigi Lemieux]

Slightly underwhelming from when the news started trickling out at first. Cool that Flames are going for it a bit, and the Flyers will have plenty of cap to work with beginning in the offseason. Wonder what the picks involved are. Pelletier is a nice piece, Kuzmenko will be interesting. Frost is a really good buy-low candidate, you could feel it coming. Farabee being that young with a solid track record doesn't make 5 mil seem so bad, especially with the cap going up.

The good thing for the flames is that this is a move for the present and future. They could do a full 5 year rebuild and Frost/Farabee would still be in their primes.

Not a bad contract at all. So it’s not a risk.

Rants will stay in Carolina or go back to Colorado.

Mariner stays in Toronto.

Paying a winger isn’t the answer for Philly.

 

[CycloneSweep]

Easy win for Calgary

Flames have so much cap it hardly matters. With cap going up, we're unlikely to be able to spend it all

 

[ponder719]

Easy win for Calgary

The two picks could have been the Florida and New Jersey #1s this year, and Calgary still would have won the trade, IMO.

 

[HarrySPlinkett]

Just based on my fantasy league’s scoring system, this is two NHL players for two fringe NHL players.

Thanks Flyers!

Let’s go to playoffs, come on.

 

[Sergei Shirokov]

He has 6 points in his last 8 games. He's definitely been taking off since being brought back up. GM's were sleeping when he was on waivers

I agree he's a talented player. But is his value really super high after a hot streak? I feel like his potential is basically Farabee, and he's only a year younger while Farabee is an established top 9 forward still with upside.

I don't mind the Pelletier pickup, but I feel like Farabee is pretty undervalued in this trade. Taking on Kuzmenko (who won't work with Torts) and only a 2nd for him & Frost... idk.

 

[Empoleon8771]

I still don’t get it for the Flyers, even with them getting a 2nd back.

 

[Rich Nixon]

And how does that idea make more sense than clearing cap for July 1?

Tell me who they are going to add on July 1st to make this team a viable contender during Michkov's prime.

 

[SnS]

It’s the most valuable piece.

 

[JKG33]

As things go, Grier it's starting to look pretty good

Ehh what has he really done? Tank and win a trade against Kyle Dubas? I don't think he's done enough to say one way or another

 

[bennysflyers16]

40 plus year fan, Flyers are worse off than they have ever been. Congrats Flames , get in line for teams to take advantage of these clowns.

Briere is Torts puppet and things are going to get so much worse.

2 legit younger fwds for a cap dump , waiver fodder and 2 shit picks is repulsive.

Not really
