Thursday's four-player trade between the Flyers and Calgary Flames -- Morgan Frost and Joel Farabee to Calgary for Andrei Kuzmenko and Jakob Pelletier -- is properly viewed in two different contexts.

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 hoped both Joel Farabee and Morgan Frost would become major pieces to their future. After all, Farabee had 20 goals in his second career season in a shortened campaign. Frost posted back-to-back 40+ point seasons before this year. These are players who can produce at a high level.
