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

[Kshahdoo]

This guy won’t play 10 games for Torts.

Maybe yes, maybe no. And like Farabee and Frost were Torts' favorites...

 

[trostol]

i really dont get the wanting to get out of a f***ing 24 year old contract that isn't even that big...like how are you giving up on a 24 year old with a bad coach so soon

 

[Magua]

Just wait until Cates gets a 6-7 year contract. Other shoe has to drop. So much certainty though. They know him.

 

[GKJ]

IF YOU’RE GOING TO DO THAT TRADE THEM FOR ACTUALLY SOMETHING WORTHWHILE INSTEAD OF BEING A LAZY SACK OF SHIT THAT’S ONE STOP SHOPPING.

Would like to know what huge move is out there other than Pettersson or Miller that they think brings them a center

 

[freakydallas13]

In maximum pain thinking, how much would Briere have to have added to trade F and F for either Necas or Rantanen?

 

[DancingPanther]

I hope they never win another game for the rest of Clarke's life

According to team sources the Flyers wanted to get out from behind Farabee's contract. He was in the third year of a six-year, $30 million contract with an AAV of $5 million. BY swapping that for Kuzmenko's shorter deal, the Flyers bought themselves $5 million in cap space in each of the next two seasons.

Flyers put this talking point out to their minions. Once again, ASF and DiMarco talk about the same thing right around the same time (18 months to be contenders the other day).

Flyers media getting ready to put on a brave face and hype up this trade

 

[Sombastate]

The Anthony’s are gonna wake up with sore throats and something to wipe off their lips

 

[bennysflyers16]

Petterson is the only move that could make some sense.

We have zero skilled centers on the roster and zero in the pipeline, we are f***ed

 

[FatTugboatFlahr]

I would f***ing LOVE to know why it was so imperative to get off Farabee's contract, that they just had to getting f***ing mauled in a trade to do it now.

 

[Deadpool8812]

I refuse to believe this is true

There is no need to dump Farebee's contract at the moment

 

[freakydallas13]

Who made the monkey paw wish for the Flyers to finally sell players for draft picks? Out yourself.

 

[BringBackHakstol]

Ah yes now farabee is an albatross. Ok.

 

[Chicken N Raffls]

Worse. He's softer than Jake (35 hits in 190 games) and slower than Couts.
Can't imagine a player who could be a worse fit on this team.

Maybe the Flyers shouldn't have traded two young players (former 1st round picks!) In their prime for him then. Could this be Briere's one mistake?

 

[DancingPanther]

Ah yes the Jake/Atkinson talking point. Some people will never ever f***ing learn

Everyone that covers this team has microwaved their organs. They have only themselves to blame. No matter how hard it is, it point to horrendous process.

3 years left at $5M probably deep sixed his trade value, but there was no reason to bum rush Farabee out the door, because unless they think Barkey is going to step right into the NHL, who were they planning to replace him with in 2025-26?

Now Abols could probably be decent at LW (big, smart, average speed, more physical and probably can be as bad on offense) and Lycksell deserves a shot, and Richard is replacement level, but still. Pelletier is unproven.

I don't mind trading Frost, but if Farabee balances out Kuchmenko (both teams dumping players), Frost for Pelletier and a 2nd is both meh and doesn't fit the Flyers' needs. Should have gone after 1st rd picks/prospects like Honzek or Henry B.

I understand why they moved the pair, they're soft, they've gotten a lot of chances to win top six jobs and both flatlined, and there's little upside left. Middle six forwards with no special attributes that weren't core players going forward. But jeez, get a better return than a 2nd rd pick and undersized 3LW.

Aaaand the demonizing of Farabee has begun.

 

[Flyer lurker]

I will state this over and over because I have to remind myself.
until Clarke, Torts, Barber, Homer, Briere, Jones and every ex flyer is gone this organization is doomed to pick 9-13 mediocre slop.

I get if you had hope after the Provy and Walker trades. But I restate. Until this entire organization gets an enema they are doomed to pick 9-14 over and over and over.

 

[pit]

I expect to see this reaction instead come morning...

 

[JojoTheWhale]

The Sam Bennett free agency signing is going to cure stigmata.

 

[bennysflyers16]

We got older too, that gonna hurt somes narrative lol

 

[vcanuck]

block buster trade of........ mids.

but calgary won this trade.

 

[Hollywood Cannon]

Aaaand the demonizing of Farabee has begun.

He’s represented by KO. The demonizing started when Torts called out the agent and said Farabee isn’t going to get any special care for coming back from his injury.
