US EditionFlyers General Manager Danny Briere Prioritizes Future over Short-Term Playoff Push
Flyers GM Danny Briere prioritizes long-term rebuild and refuses short-term trades despite playoff position and recent five-year extension of key forward Christian Dvorak.
- On Tuesday, Flyers general manager Danny Briere said he won't risk moves that mortgage the team's future for playoff chances, warning, "Don't bank on any rentals and to give up assets."
- At the midway point, the Flyers framed their record as progress within a rebuild, entering Tuesday as the first wild card with a 21-12-7 record in Rick Tocchet's first season.
- The Dvorak signing, announced the previous day, highlighted roster stability, with Dvorak, 29, having nine goals and 16 assists for 25 points in 39 games, taking a slight pay cut from 5.4.
- Preserving assets positions the club to build around Michkov and Zegras, with Briere calling Dvorak staying "a good sign" of commitment to the team’s future core.
- Having learned from the 2023-24 collapse, the club is cautious this year as the Flyers sit four points out of first in a volatile Metropolitan Division.
