We can end the speculation and reports: The Philadelphia Flyers officially named Daniel Brière the Special Assistant to the General Manager on Tuesday.
Brière was reportedly among the final candidates for the Montreal Canadiens’ general manager search and has been spotted spending more time with the Flyers’ front office staff in recent weeks.
The Flyers wanted to officially bring him into the fold full-time and now Chuck Fletcher has quite the Special Assistant.
“I’m very happy to add Danny to our hockey operations team in a full-time role,” Fletcher said. “His insight and experience from 25 years in professional hockey, as well as first-hand knowledge of the Philadelphia Flyers, is a valuable asset for our organization and I look forward to working closely with him on a day-to-day basis.
