The Flyers are rebuilding, and Danny Briere isn’t afraid to admit it

The last 48 hours have been a whirlwind for Philadelphia Flyers interim general manager Danny Briere. He admitted as much during his first media availability under his new title Sunday morning. But in the midst of the chaos following the firing of former general manager Chuck Fletcher, Briere already has his sights set on making big changes to the Flyers.

Just don’t expect the changes to be fast and furious.

Sunday morning, Briere finally muttered the sinful word Fletcher had danced around throughout his tenure with the Flyers.

“Rebuild.”

For the first time in a long time — or possibly ever — a high-ranking team executive admitted that a rebuild is necessary to make the Flyers competitive again.
