CP’s finest insiders were on the case to break this one.
Oh, they weren’t at all? How curious…
Not cool man, let's keep the bad vibes up north.
To your statement however, did you read through the thread? Plenty of stuff that came through regarding pieces etc. Great inside info that wouldn't have been there if Royle, Sec and a few others hadn't let us in on it.
Bad take all around but won't dampen this night, no sir!

Flames gets two guys who, for those who crave the magic beans of draft picks, hope they turn into a few years after being drafted. A push forward by the Flames, to take advantage of the Flyers situation.

Farabee averaged 16 5v5 goals per season the 4 years prior to this one, which generally would put him in the top 75 of the NHL.
From 21-22 to 23-24 his 47 goals ranked 61st in the NHL. The guy has finishing talent, but isn't much of a play driver yet.
He's shooting 7% at 5v5 this year though, after averaging 14.5% the prior 4 seasons. Definition of buying low.
If the Flames could have gotten an extra ten goals this year so far, they'd be about 12th in scoring, instead of almost last. Also likely firmly in a playoff spot.
Really hoping these two just bring consistency with them.
Okay I put together the ATL from Philly. They are not happy.
Spoiler!
When the two draft picks were rumoured going to Philly:
Quote:
Realistically, if we traded:
Farabee
Frost
for
Kuzmenko
Pelletier
1st
2nd
Are we not upset with that? That's selling disgustingly low.
Quote:
That’s a horrid return.
Quote:
Can we buy out kuzmenko yet ? Torts won’t even play him so he will have negative value.
Quote:
Trading younger players while over playing 30 year olds is f***ing stupid.
Quote:
WAIT LMAO THE FLAMES DON'T EVEN OWN THEIR OWN FIRST THIS YEAR. IT WOULD BE NJ's or FLA's FIRST ROUND PICK IN 2025 WE WOULD BE GETTING BACK LMAO
The official news breaks about the 2nd and 7th round picks:
Quote:
JUST FOLD THE FRANCHISE
Quote:
A SECOND AND A SEVENTH LLLLMMMMMAAAAOOOOOO
Quote:
No way we don't even get a first back
Quote:
Go Birds. That's all I got, this blows chunks.
Quote:
Oh thank god they got a 7th. Save your time folks. This franchise doesn't deserve it. I mean how does it always get worse. HOW
Quote:
No words.
Quote:
Hahahaha traded the best 2 players in the deal and didnt even get a 1st back. Absolutely histerical. Got a BUST, A CAP DUMP, A 2ND AND A 7TH. Again I ask, what did we do to deserve this?
Quote:
f*** this garbage team, holy ####
Quote:
Cap dump, waiver wire that went through, a 2nd and a 7th… that’s it?
Quote:
Couldn't even f***ing get a 1st? Are you f***ing kidding me? Jesus, this team needs to be burned to the f***ing ground.
Quote:
A TWO AND A SEVEN
A TWO AND A SEVEN
A TWO AND A SEVENNNNNN!!!!
JOHN TORTORELLA LADIES AND GERMS! THE GODKING EMPEROR!!!
Quote:
Howling. All I need is Briere holding a press conference to complain about Frost and Farabee not wanting to be here and I can go to bed happy.
Quote:
This team deserves everything coming to it. Zero good centers and we can't even get a 1st? f*** this team.
Quote:
Why would the K dude waive the NTC he somehow has to come to Philly. Has he seen Philly the past 10 years?
Quote:
we all will die before flyers wins a cup, let that sink in
Quote:
These are the types of results you get when your coach calls the shots. This was a trade just to get these guys out. There's no justification. They'll hang on to Pelletier longer than they have to to save face, but they'll quickly have nothing to show for trading two young-ish middle six players.
Quote:
Fire everyone. This is grotesque.
Quote:
I doubt that's the trade, remember when the Provorov trade was first announced?
Then more details kept coming in. Briere is not that stupid (I think)
Not that Frost or Farabee are as valuable as people here think they are, but draft picks/prospects would be the centerpiece of this kind of deal, not a salary dump and undersized wing.
Quote:
I'm laughing so f***ing hard alone in my apartment right now. I legit haven't laughed this hard in months probably.
Quote:
This franchise is so pathetic. holy f***
Quote:
I am in shock. Briere is worse than Fletch
Quote:
I’d take Chuck over Briere at this point. I don’t think I’ll watch another flyers game for the rest of the year. And I was SO excited about Michkov
Quote:
I hate it, yet I just feel apathetic. Maybe the team falls off a cliff now.
Quote:
JFC that’s terrible.
Quote:
This feels like a good time to duct tape steak knives to my fists and puncture as much real estate on my body as I can before I bleed out.
Quote:
And we thought there was some minute chance that Daniel Briere would make a trade for Elias Pettersson. This might make us forget about the Ristolainen trade. Imagine trading the only offensively creative centre on a centre-starved team and another young forward with offensive potential for the honour of having someone you can not sign on July 1 and have spending money. Oh, and a maybe top-9 forward, a 2nd and a gift bag to give to the Canadiens as the draft wraps up.
Quote:
Unless there is much more to the deal that hasn't been reported, this is an utter embarrassment and demonstrates the complete ineptitude of the current Flyers front office. This team has officially sunk to the bottom.
Quote:
Buffalo.
Quote:
I can’t imagine what this looks like if the Flyers weren’t willing to take Kuzmenko. Farabee was considered an untouchable in 2021. Less than 4 years later, and at age 24, they just want to get out from under his deal.
Quote:
Good thing we got a player with passion, and not a player that can score or a good draft pick for our 2 mid first round picks still early in their careers
Quote:
Plus side, this makes us worse the rest of the season.
Quote:
Michkov's going to ask out before his RFA years are up
Quote:
Im excited for Frost & Farabee. Lucky f***s.
Quote:
This is a joke, right? f***ing brutal trade
Quote:
You know Briere negotiated real hard, because that 7th round pick is in 2028. Value. In. The. Margins.
Quote:
This franchise is seriously pathetic. It blows my mind that they keep topping themselves over and over again
Quote:
I’d like to think this is rock bottom but I know it’s not.
Quote:
I refuse to believe this is the deal.
Frost and Farabee aren't top talents, but given their age, their ability to contribute right away and still provide youth for Calgary, I can't believe Briere couldn't extract real value.
Nor do I buy it's a Torts' deal, b/c there is no way on God's earth he's want Kuzmenko, who's allergic to playing defense, near Michkov.
The only credible piece is Pellitier, but he's worth far less than Frost or Farabee.
And the Flyers don't need cap room, they have Ellis' LTIR money available at the TDL if needed.
