Rumor: Things Not Left Unsaid 3 - Flyers Rumors and Media Mentions: Never Ending Circles

I don’t think it will be spun well by the general Authentics. I think they’re starting to get pissed.

Now our resident authentics here? They’ll defend.

It’s a tradition really.

“The Flyers don’t need to rebuild because York is a top pair defenseman, Gauthier is a future 1C, and Tippett going to break out with 40 goals. Hell, they’re a 5v5 contender now!”

“The Flyers don’t need to rebuild because Bonk will be a top pair defenseman, Luchanko is a future 1C, and Tippett is going to break out with 40 goals. Hell, they’re a 5v5 contender now!”

“The Flyers don’t need to rebuild because Jimmy Neutron will be a top pair defenseman, Genghis Khan Jr. is a future 1C, and Tippett is going to break out with 40 goals. Hell, they’re a 5v5 contender now!”
 
Why should Briere be in a rush? He only has two tradable assets in Laughton and Risto, he's not moving Farabee (24) or Frost (25) for draft picks. So he'll either make a move at the TDL or in June, then going into the draft and listen to offers. If the right deal comes along, he can package players, prospects and/or picks.
You were right, dead. Briere held out for a cap dump and a 5'9" AHLer winger who has a decent chance of being a top-9 forward (according to the Wheeler report you quoted). That's master GM'ing right there!
