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

For those that care:



Some reading between the lines a bit as they are both pretty diplomatic guys, but I think the comment about how with the Flyers they team was hyper focused on the negative and on each players mistakes, where in Calgary they focus on the positives.
 
Farabee 1+0, -3 after 5 games. Frost is 2+0, -2 in 5... Of course if they look good in the playoffs, it'll be a good trade for Calgary, but Flames first need to make the playoffs.

Do we have to explain again the +/- isn't a good stat to look at for a player. Yes the points per game isn't great right now but you have to give adjustment time also.


Automerged UGH
So I am hearing the team was not happy at all with losing these two from the locker room. Imagine the crater if they move Laughton.

12/14 Calgary forwards are minus in those 5 games. Backlund and Coleman are both -4.

In those 5 games, Frost and Farabee have registered 3 of the 11 ES points scored by Calgary forwards. It is not a high scoring team.

 
So they’re going to try and flip the guy that was likely going on waivers?



The article did suggest retention, which provides a value add for a contender that isn't there if they just pluck the guy off waivers. My bigger question is "so, you said you wanted a look at this guy in Philly, and we're talking about 7 games? Is that a significant enough look?"

Context is an interesting thing.

imo, the only thing keeping the team from utter collapse was the locker room culture being quite good. The whole team always looked like they were having fun despite playing like shit. Once they kill the locker room theyll be bottom 1.
