The Philadelphia Flyers acquired left wings Andrei Kuzmenko and Jakob Pelletier – and two draft picks – in the trade.
The Flyers made a late-night shakeup, reaching a deal with the Flames that sent longtime faces Joel Farabee and Morgan Frost to Calgary. In return, the Flyers are getting wingers Andrei Kuzmenko and Jakob Pelletier, a second-round draft pick this summer and a seventh-round draft pick in 2028.
Their Philadelphia Flyers careers ended with a whimper. Morgan Frost and Joel Farabee both played in the team’s 3-0 loss to the New York Islanders on Thursday night at Wells Fargo Center, with Frost managing two shots on goal before leaving midway through the second period with an apparent minor injury or illness,
The Calgary Flames traded wingers Andrei Kuzmenko and Jakob Pelletier, plus second- and seventh-round draft picks, to the Philadelphia Flyers on Thursday night for center Morgan Frost and winger Joel Farabee.
The Flyers added to the evening’s trade buzz when Frost was pulled midway through a 3-0 loss to the New York Islanders. Philadelphia drafted the six-foot, 193-pound forward from Aurora, Ont., in the first round, 27th overall, in 2017.

Flyers trade Farabee, Frost in deal with Flames
Joel Farabee and Morgan Frost played their last game with the Flyers on Thursday night. The team sent both forwards to Calgary in a trade with the Flames. In return, the Flyers received Andrei Kuzmenko, Jakob Pelletier, a 2025 second-round pick and 2028 seventh-round pick.
Andrei Kuzmenko was traded to the Philadelphia Flyers by the Calgary Flames for Morgan Frost and Joel Farabee on Thursday. The Flyers also acquired Jakob Pelletier, a second-round pick in the 2025 NHL Draft and a seventh-round pick in the 2028 Draft.
In the end, this is not a perfect trade for the Flames, either. They get two players who could work out for them in the long run. In the same vein as how Kuzmenko and Pelletier could work for the Flyers. Until that happens, though, it's hard to give them the highest of grades.
