Andrei Kuzmenko

"The biggest thing in all of this is the cap flexibility that it gives us moving forward." The Flyers most recent trade may not help immediately, but helps set them up for the future.

Danny Briere's latest trade has an immediate impact on the Flyers roster, but the success of the trade will be judged by future decisions.

The Flyers have traded Joel Farabee and Morgan Frost to the Calgary Flames for Andrei Kuzmenko, Jakob Pelletier, and two draft picks.

Matvei Michkov got his first NHL point, an assist on a Travis Konecny power-play goal, but the Flyers fell to the Flames on Saturday night.

According to a report from TSN’s Darren Dreger, the Flyers are “taking calls” on Scott Laughton. Dreger also notes the team is not eager to trade Laughton, but that GM Danny Briere is “gauging interest.”

The Flyers followed up a blowout loss in Seattle on Thursday with yet another defeat on Saturday in Vancouver, falling to the Canucks, 6-2, for their fourth straight loss.

The Flyers and Vancouver Canucks meet on Saturday night as the Flyers head into Western Canada for the next three games.

The Flyers have a chance to start the season with a pair of wins, and they will take on the Vancouver Canucks in the second game of the season.
