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

[HighLifeMan]

To be fair that Lindholm trade was a lose-lose for both sides. Pretty much everyone involved in that trade ended up a dud.

Calgary got a 1st and quality prospect out of it. Not a loss for the Flames whatsoever.

 

[Mrfenn92]

He has 3 goals and 5 points in his last 5 games so it would be an odd time to scratch him.



Also the Flames posted this. Definitely something up.

Interesting

Colorado?

I's be surprised if he returns anything of actual value

 

[Mrfenn92]

Flyers pretty packed at wing. Interesting

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?

Hunter is 19, lol. The majority of his draft class is still playing junior. Gridin is having a good year on a team with no other drafted prospects. We are very happy with it.

 

[Turin]

First thought is.. just a Russian to help Michkov acclimate? Otherwise don't see the point unless they're also getting an asset back.

 

[Jumptheshark]

What is wrong with this guy? Does he only try when he wants to?

pretty much

 

[Marc the Habs Fan]

Torts is going to hate this guy by the 2nd week after the return from 4 Nations.

 

[twostroke2023]

Lmao torts is gonna love this.

Flames have zero reason to pay to dump him

 

[crackdown44]

Does this mean the Tippett injury is bad? Even then I don’t know why Philly would do this

 

[Turin]

Flames have zero reason to pay to dump him

It's true, but I also see zero reason for somebody to want him lol

 

[Zirakzigil]

Yuck. I hope he goes to another team and not them.

 

[Some Other Flame]

Kuzmenko + Devils 1st for Frost

You heard it here first E5

 

[Bond]

It's true, but I also see zero reason for somebody to want him lol

That’s fair lol

 

[ponder719]

Kuzmenko for Tortorella, please.

 

[MarkusNaslund19]

I remember when there was a “Kuzmenko is the next Panarin thread” on these boards”

I think it was always a 'lower case' Panarin.

But yeah, how dare someone get excited about a player who scores 39 goals in their first year? Didn't they have hindsight bias on their side like we do now?

Kuzmenko for Farabee?

It’s crazy he did that after watching him play for like 40 games. Maybe he lost the motivation once he got lifetime money

Kuzmenko for Farabee?

That’d be a Flames move for sure. Farabee struggling?

We all still saw the shooting % and bad skating
