re: Pelletier clearing waivers earlier this season... A lot has changed since then. Pelletier did come back after being called up and has looked really improved. Obviously he wouldn't clear waivers now.
Frank said what I was thinking about Briere maybe seeing a little of himself in Pelletier possibly adding value in his mind. And Kuzmenko is a just a gamble. Low risk, but potential high reward if he turns it around. Long term, they get some cap flexibility if they let Kuzmenko go after the season, and Philly doesn't have trouble attracting free agents.
Still love the trade for the Flames though.
