Confirmed with Link: Morgan Frost and Joel Farabee traded to Calgary for Andrei Kuzmenko, Jakob Pelletier, 2025 2nd, 2028 7th

[Kshahdoo]

This doesn't make a lick of sense.
Kuzmenko is exactly who you WOULDN'T want with Michkov.
And he's a 28 year old soon to be UFA - not the player a rebuilding team wants to resign.
But he is a candidate for 50% retention and flip to a PO contender looking for a cheap offense rental.

The 1st rd and Hunter B seems more credible as the centerpiece, that would be a solid return.
Then you trade Risto and give Hunter B a shot this year and Bonk coming next year.

You are wrong, Kuzmenko is a high IQ player, and Phily doesn't have any LW like him. As bad as he's this season, Farabee isn't any better. And if you look at two previous seasons, Kuzmenko scored more goals for Vancouver in his first season, than Farabee scored in both ones for basically the same money...

Join the dark side, Deady.

Your 2028 list better have 224 names on it.

When does the smear campaign on Frost and Farabee begin?

If Frost doesn’t say a bad word about Torts that means that he actually liked him.

 

[DancingPanther]

Briere has now solidified himself as Fletcher 2.0

Michkov will ask to be traded before his ELC is up...guaranteed

And he'll ask in Russian, because he still won't have an interpreter

 

[deadhead]

I refuse to believe this is the deal.

Frost and Farabee aren't top talents, but given their age, their ability to contribute right away and still provide youth for Calgary, I can't believe Briere couldn't extract real value.

Nor do I buy it's a Torts' deal, b/c there is no way on God's earth he'd want Kuzmenko, who's allergic to playing defense, near Michkov.

The only credible piece is Pellitier, but he's worth far less than Frost or Farabee.

And the Flyers don't need cap room, they have Ellis' LTIR money available at the TDL if needed.

I’d like to think this is rock bottom but I know it’s not.

The Edmonton trade was still worse. I’ll happily die on this hill. Arrow pointing up!

 

[bobbythebrain]

I like Pelletier.

Absolutely no frigging idea how they think Torts can coach Kuzemenko

 

[freakydallas13]

Really nothing else needs to be said about this franchise. This is it. This is the Flyers.

Andrei, when you see the plane heading for a landing in Philadelphia - just tell him to keep going alright?

Take the advice. Thank me later.

The backslapping among the Flyers front office right now probably registered on the Richter scale. Holy f*** are those boys PUMPED right now. Smartest front office in the league.

Classic Shit trade for a rental.

 

[HisNameHisGame]

Love the deal. The scouts I talked to in Calgary tell me Kuzmenko has shades of Gretzky and Ovechkin.

 

[Devonator]

This is clearly a terrible trade for us.....I can hardly believe it....on the positive, it should engender a further collapse to this season and a high draft pick and also the end of Torts career here .....

This is the deal because Briere is a clueless GM

Just accept the facts

So much in denial.

You were warned

Denial is the first stage.

 

[bennysflyers16]

The authentics on twitter are starting to turn in Torts and Briere.

Please I hope Frost and Joel unload on Torts, don’t hold back fellas.

Kuzmenko Couts MM , what a 4th line of speedsters.

 

[BigToe]

I need some Cap gifs to soften the blow right now.

I hope this metaphorical cataract surgery is as beneficial to you as my mom's actual cataract surgery (just finished the other eye this afternoon) will be for her.

 

[Deadpool8812]

Kuzmenko has zero value...we could have gotten him for a bag of pucks

 

[Hollywood Cannon]

In case any of you need a pick me up…

Thomas Benjamin Wild is, by a long, long shot, the best thing in this thread.
