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

This is awful… right? I can’t wrap my head around it

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.

Death. Taxes, The Flyers depreciating the value of their own players for no good reason.

 

[trostol]

seems people think this is a precursor move..even if they want EP or Miller...they kinda are lacking in goodish players to move

 

[Beef Invictus]

When is the last time the Flyers made moves that make them better overall? Clearly better.

 

[Tripod]

3 years left at $5M probably deep sixed his trade value, but there was no reason to bum rush him 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, 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 Honrek or Henry B.

Don't worry.

We also got a 7th in 3.5 years.

The truly crazy part with these morons running the show is that with every move they make they actually think they are smarter than everyone else in the league.

 

[Beef Invictus]

It's terrifying to ponder what they think they're going to do with that cap space

 

[trostol]

i find this hard to believe..but reddit is worse than DH in terms of management positivity

 

[JojoTheWhale]

He shot 27.3%.

I just want to come back to this because I knew it was ridiculous, but not quite this much. 27.3% is the 13th highest Qualified Single Season Shooting % since before the Flyers were a team. The next closest on the list this century is 37th.

Pronger trade, probably?

This was a first thought exercise; no digging up trade history.

 

[Magua]

It’s crazy how apathetic I am. I watched Frost and Farabee as draft eligibles and enjoyed their games immensely. Rooted for them all the way, through all the shit they’ve endured. I should be livid it came to this.

But I just shrug at the Flyers getting absolutely annihilated trading them to appease a control freak dinosaur coach, as part of a nonsensical rebuild plan that makes them worse now and later. I shitpost, but I honestly feel no anger. It’s funny really. I’m smiling. And we’re only like 10 minutes into a 1 hour standup set.

It just saddens me that Michkov doesn’t have a chance in hell of succeeding here with this front office.

 

[LegionOfDoom91]

They love taking baths on players all to satisfy their head coach.

 

[Magua]

It just saddens me that Michkov doesn’t have a chance in hell of succeeding here with this front office.

He won’t be a Flyer by his first UFA season, at the latest. I really feel good about betting on that one.

Its not EP or Miller.

Its resigning
Cates
York
Brink
TK raise
keep
Risto
Scottie

Oh you will get the narrative the flyers just need a goalie and sign Vanacek or Hill or Lingren or whomever to make the push for 79 point season. But that is it.

And here comes the Deflection Squad:

So thankful we got to dump the 25 and 24 year old middle sixers for nothing. Briere the Maverick at the helm.

 

[Strawberry Fields]

Amazing how fast we went from "Philly Joel!" and "Beezer!" to "we had to move him immediately at any cost"

 

[dendazen]

Cutter didn't dodge a bullet, he dodged the entire firing squad that is Flyers management

 

[Danko]

I feel like i jinxed us earlier when i mentioned that somethings gotta give, and that Farabee and Frost didn't have as much value as people may think.
