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

[Strawberry Fields]

And there were already rumors that he is heading to the KHL in the offseason

Well, I'm sure two months of playing for Torts will solidify that decision

 

[MJL66]

Yeah, but he’s not consistent.

Is there such thing as a consistent 50 point forward? The thing that bothered me about Farabee is that he put up points a high rate in the first half of 23/24 and then fell off a cliff. That slump continued into this season.

Danny says teams weren't willing to take on Joels salary

Well he is clearly no Goodrow or Trouba.

 

[Striiker]

Probably some legendary shit talking going on there.

Building a good culture means getting rid of some of the most liked players in the locker room. You know… the sole thing Deslauriers was signed for.

 

[mr figgles]

So they lost the trade on purpose on someone they could have signed in the off season just so they could give him a few month interview?

Apparently he was going on waivers, so they could have picked him up for nothing.

They think the main value back is getting rid of guys who Torts doesn’t like. Frost and Farabee had negative value to them.

Unconfirmed reports have suggested that everyone in management calls him “Daddy John”.

Obviously I don’t read this because there’s a better chance of me moving to Brazil than paying even a single cent for anything O’Connor has written, but I sure did laugh at “entering phase 2 of the rebuild?” because he knows damn well they never even started phase 1.

@Appleyard guilted me into signing up in order to support him. Let me check it out.

“I GIVE HIM CREDIT FOR MAKING A BAD TRADE INSTEAD OF DOING NOTHING”

HAHAHAHHAAHHAHAHAHAHAHHAA

YEAH OK BUD

 

[trostol]

When did they enter phase 1? I'm still waiting

 

[Flyerfan4life]

I was told this wasn’t going to happen.

Everything we’ve said about this team is right.

The 18 month to contender timeline is real.

#buyers... sell us ur grizzled old vets..

"we going streakin...."

 

[sa cyred]

I actually don’t mind seeing Kuz play. The issue is the play part, for we know Torts isn’t going to like him. I mean even homer beat writers are saying it. Crazy enough, I don’t think Briere sees it. He’s gonna be floored when it happens

"Well, they may have just lost this trade bigtime, and it's already looking pretty stupid on day 1, but they have to make SOME moves, right? Otherwise, what's the point? Since we'd never be able to declare phase 2 of the rebuild."

Certainly is one HELL of a take! Damn!

 

[Hollywood Cannon]

I’m still waiting for a “tough” decision to be made.

It’s easy to get rid of the people the coach doesn’t like at every turn. It’s hard to tell him to f*** off and do his job. Fletcher didn’t do it to AV. Briere isn’t doing it to Tortorella.

 

[Striiker]

Fletcher and AV dug that franchise into a six foot deep hole.

Then Briere and Torts hopped down and started expanding the walls to make sure the full coffin fits.

And it’s all the fault of that guy with the initials B.C., who’s not even a top 50 Flyer of all time.

[ybnvs]

When did they enter phase 1? I'm still waiting

It was after Gauthier was drafted.

Briere: "We already drafted high." - Regarding that phase of the rebuild.

 

[ponder719]

When did they enter phase 1? I'm still waiting

They say that phase 1 of solving a problem is never admitting there's a problem to begin with.

Something like that, anyway.

 

[Boocowski]

Because if he's good then he has value to sell? He's still playing below his contract and on any other team is a 3rd liner. This is an opportunity to sell high. He's 30. He's irrelevant to Michkov's prime.

We have Sanheim and Seeler. That's enough.

IF you can get good value for Risto I can see trading him, sure, BUT I'm not moving him just to move him. The cap is going up and up and so I'd rather live with that contract and have the defensive depth. Last thing we want to do is go back to desperately needing D men like we were when Fletcher traded for him. Defensive depth matters.
So moving him is not a priority imo. He is most definitely not "irrelevant".

You can’t tell me with a straight face that Foerster, Tippett, Cates, and Brink’s development stands in stark contrast to Frost and Farabee’s. As if they’ve taken a clear undeniable jump. I might listen about Brink beyond the counting stats, but he’s also someone who could easily be next up in Tortorella’s doghouse. But really all of their growth has flatlined or regressed. The production is unremarkable. Even Cates being pumped back to 35 points is not some transformative moment.

Not to mention all the cap dumps they've taken back in other deals like Cal Peterson and RyJo.

Good point, Toe.

Good point, Toe.

One of Toe’s favorite movies is Brazil. True story.

I don’t believe for a second that Toe has watched a movie from 1985.
