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.

Flyers general manager Danny Brière usually has a pretty good poker face, but he walked around the Wells Fargo Center press box with a grin on Thursday night. The only problem was nobody knew why until his suite in the corner of the press box was already empty.

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.
