- Improve dressing room by removing two players struggling with Torts
- Being in Pelletier who will bring a ton of energy, is super affordable and is only 23
- Get out of an overpriced contract in Farabee to free up cap space that can be redeployed
- give kuzmenko a try out in hopes it gives Michkov a boost
The flames did great, upgrading their roster and adding two, young, 2-way players. And cap space isn't a constraint for the Flames.
I think it's a decent trade for both teams and could be a win-win.

Wouldn't surprise me if Kuzmenko goes on a tear playing with Michkov and gets re-signed.
