The Calgary Flames traded Andrei Kuzmenko, Jakob Pelletier and draft picks to the Philadelphia Flyers for Morgan Frost and Joel Farabee.

The Philadelphia Flyers and Calgary Flames completed an unusual mid-game trade on Thursday, forcing multiple players to be scratched or pulled from their respective games as the deal unfolded.

The Calgary Flames have sent Andrei Kuzmenko and Jakob Pelletier to the Philadelphia Flyers in a massive trade.

The Philadelphia Flyers announced they have acquired forwards Andrei Kuzmenko and Jakob Pelletier, as well as a second-round pick in the 2025 NHL Draft and seventh round pick in the 2028 NHL Draft from the Calgary Flames in exchange for forwards Joel Farabee and Morgan Frost, according to General Manager, Daniel Briere.

Their Philadelphia Flyers careers ended with a whimper. Morgan Frost and Joel Farabee both played in the team’s 3-0 loss to the New York Islanders on Thursday night at Wells Fargo Center, with Frost managing two shots on goal before leaving midway through the second period with an apparent minor injury or illness,

In the end, this is not a perfect trade for the Flames, either. They get two players who could work out for them in the long run. In the same vein as how Kuzmenko and Pelletier could work for the Flyers. Until that happens, though, it's hard to give them the highest of grades.

The Calgary Flames traded wingers Andrei Kuzmenko and Jakob Pelletier, plus second- and seventh-round draft picks, to the Philadelphia Flyers on Thursday night for center Morgan Frost and winger Joel Farabee.

The Calgary Flames traded left wings Andrei Kuzmenko and Jakob Pelletier to the Philadelphia Flyers on Thursday night for center Morgan Frost and left wing Joel Farabee.

The Calgary Flames find themselves in playoff contention halfway through the 2024-25 NHL season. It’s a remarkable performance from a Calgary team that seemed to enter a rebuild over the summer. The Flames traded Jacob Markstrom to the New Jersey Devils as they looked to stockpile future assets.

According to Elliotte Friedman, detailing the situation while appearing on Thursday's episode of "The FAN Hockey Show," the Flames are leaning toward becoming buyers ahead of the March 7 deadline.

Although the Calgary Flames were expected to miss the playoffs for a third straight campaign, the team continues to hang around in 2024-25.
