Farabee and Frost have been the subject of trade rumors for quite some time, and now they are both officially on the move. They will look to provide the Flames with a boost as they push for a playoff spot and continue their retool.
Farabee, 24, appeared in 50 games this season with the Flyers, posting eight goals, 19 points, and a minus-12 rating. He will be more than a rental for the Flames, as he is signed until the end of the 2027-28 campaign, carrying a $5 million cap hit.

Frost, 25, has 11 goals, 25 points, and a minus-11 rating in 49 games this season. The 2017 first-round pick is a pending restricted free agent.
Kuzmenko, 28, recorded four goals, 15 points, and a minus-7 rating in 37 games with the Flames this season. He has been heating up as of late, though, posting three goals and five points in his last five games. He also was Matvei Michkov's teammate back in the KHL.

Pelletier, 23, has four goals, 11 points, and a plus-10 rating this season. These are all new career highs for the 2019 first-round pick. He should now get more consistent playing time with the Flyers.
