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 28-year-old Kuzmenko was scratched from Calgary’s lineup Thursday night and 23-year-old Pelletier was pulled after the first period of a 4-1 victory over the Anaheim Ducks.

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.
