Analysts say that the Vancouver Canucks' season could be on thin ice a few days after the team's president confirmed a rift between two of its best forwards.

Former Vancouver Canucks forward Andrei Kuzmenko is on the move as the Russian forward will now get a fresh start once again, this time in the Eastern Conference.

The surging Canucks have now passed the Calgary Flames by total points to claim the final wild-card spot in the Western Conference. On the back of this small win streak, the Canucks are back in the thick of the playoff race with the fading Los Angeles Kings in their sights for third spot in the Pacific Division.

The Calgary Flames have sent Andrei Kuzmenko and Jakob Pelletier to the Philadelphia Flyers in a massive trade.

The Flames made a cheap upgrade in their pursuit of a playoff spot, but will Kuzmenko contribute for Philadelphia?

Daniel Brière and Co. decided to shake up the mix and move on from two young players who not too long ago were viewed as key parts of the organization's rebuild.

The Philadelphia Flyers announced they have acquired forwards Andrei Kuzmenko and Jakob Pelletier, as well as a second-round pick in the 2025 NHL Draft and seventh round pick in the 2028 NHL Draft from the Calgary Flames in exchange for forwards Joel Farabee and Morgan Frost, according to General Manager, Daniel Briere.

The Flames traded for Morgan Frost and Joel Farabee on Thursday night, agreeing to send Andrei Kuzmenko, Jakob Pelletier, a second-round pick and a seventh round pick to Philadelphia.

The Vancouver Canucks had some internal meetings before ripping off a three game win streak which has them back in the playoff picture.

The Flyers are reportedly trading for Flames winger Andrei Kuzmenko, reuniting him with star prospect Matvei Michkov.
