Flyers interim GM Daniel Briere said improving the team is 'going to take a little while' and will require a rebuild but said that doesn't mean a fire sale is coming.
interim general manager Daniel Briere acknowledged the team needs a multiyear rebuild as he campaigns to earn the job on a permanent basis.
Dave Scott, the chairman of Comcast Spectacor and governor of the Flyers, has called the team's path back to Stanley Cup contention "a multiyear process." Briere agreed with that timetable. "We have to be careful. I want to make sure that 'rebuild' doesn't mean fire sale," Briere said. "There's a big difference between the two. So I want to make that clear. We're not going get rid of everybody. We have some good players here, some players that are in certain roles that we're going to keep as well."
