Cmon now, you're better than that. You and I both know we are discussing Briere.
To be clear, I never said "ALL" Flyer employees, specifically team management, are ex-players. I AM saying they have hired an endless string of them and Briere is just next man up. His only qualifications are a year and a half at a minor club and being mentored by PH
Here's a sample:
Holmgren- HC, GM, President, Senior Adv
Clarke- GM (x2),Snr VP
Hextall - GM, scout
Barber - HC
Berube - HC
Stevens- HC
Murray - HC
Laperiere - AC
and if you feel like taking a trip down memory lane, just peruse the list of team staff. You'll see Dave Brown, Kjell Samuelson, Sami Kapanen, Mark Grieg, Sam Morin and Nick Schultz
