Daily News | Danny Brière hopes to lead Flyers through ‘rebuild’
and apparently a lot of those beliefs concern personnel. When asked about what he strongly feels needs to be done moving forward, Brière replied: “I’m not going to get into player’s names and stuff like that at this point.”
“The reality is, unfortunately, we’re not going to make the playoffs most likely this season,” Brière said. “We’re going to be positioned pretty well to add a key quality player for the future of this franchise. That’s going to be important the next couple months to send the proper people in the right place to see who’s out there. Make sure we make the right pick. That’s also going to be a key responsibility of my job.
Despite his inexperience — Brière has only worked in an official capacity for an NHL front office for a year — he has no doubt in his ability to succeed in the role. Brière has been in hockey for many years, and even as a player, he was paying attention to more than just the X’s and O’s. He observed general managers as much as his opponents. His career took him to both successful organizations and rebuilding teams, giving him a lot to learn from.
“I love the Flyers,” Brière said. “I love the logo. I spent a lot of days, a lot of sweat, a lot of sacrifice here for this organization. ... To be honest with you, it’s something that will stay with me for a long, long time. This emotion of having that title is pretty special, to be honest.”
