GM Daniel Briere said the trade that sent Morgan Frost and Joel Farabee to Calgary shouldn't be viewed as a proverbial punt on 2024-25.

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.

The Philadelphia Flyers and Calgary Flames completed an unusual mid-game trade on Thursday, forcing multiple players to be scratched or pulled from their respective games as the deal unfolded.
