Philadelphia Flyers interim general manager Danny Briere believes the team needs a rebuilding process to become contenders for a Stanley Cup.
GLENDALE, ARIZONA - FEBRUARY 24: Former teammate Daniel Briere speaks during a pregame ceremony to honor Shane Doan and retire his jersey at Gila River Arena on February 24, 2019 in Glendale, Arizona. Danny Briere is not reluctant to say the word his predecessor willfully avoided when plotting the best course for the forlorn Flyers: rebuilding.
The Flyers, who open a seven-game homestand this week, have won two games since Feb. 9 and are on a three-game losing streak.and the pair are on the same page when it comes to the hard work needed to at least make the Flyers competitive, much less in the hunt for Philadelphia’s first Stanley Cup since 1975.
"I want to make sure rebuild doesn’t mean fire sale," he said. "We’re not going to get rid of everybody."
