Let's hope that's a system issue and the Flames coaches can put them in a good spot to succeed.
Neither have hit their breakout age yet either, so that's good! Still room for growth!

I don’t know much about either of them but I did notice Farabee when the Flames played the Flyers.
Kuzmenko was essentially a healthy scratch for us and that didn’t look like it was going to change. Pelletier never really gained traction after his injuries. Looked like he was trending towards being a 3/4 line winger that killed penalties.
In return we got back a 24 and 25 year old both with 5 to 6 years of experience in the league. From what I read Frost was Philly’s 1C at times but probably shouldn’t have been. Sounds like good on faceoffs too.
So we traded a guy that wasn’t going to be resigned and a bit part players for two young starters on of which is a center. Can’t wait to see them in the lineup but I think this will be a great trade for the Flames. Didn’t move our cap that much either. Maybe a $1 million bump.
