Every way I look at this trade i see it as a slam dunk. Kuzmenko was negative value few weeks ago and Pelts (I felt) was starting to look in over his head on the first line. I think he was another lost game removed from moving back to the 3rd/4th line.

We include a 2nd which we can recoup at the deadline or draft + 7th round pick.

In return we get:

Frost — minimum 40 point 2 way centre with untapped potential. He is an RFA at season end and I can see him getting a similar deal to Sharky. I really hope he is our Lindholm 2.0. Similar numbers and age prior to joining the flames.

Farabee: 20 goal winger with an edge. Signed for another 3 years at a respective 5 million which is on par for a 20 goal scorer.

I do see Kuzmenko having his “honeymoon” bump and going on a tear to finish the season. But long term he was not staying with the flames.

Pelts I feel will blossom (at his peak) as a 40-50 point winger.

All I can think of from this trade is..

“Brière you drunk bro?”

In Con Man we Trust.
