Flyers GM Danny Briere: The first 1000 days

February 4 marks 1000 days since the interim tag was removed from Philadelphia Flyers General Manager Danny Briere. After a short trial run following the firing of Chuck Fletcher, Briere was given the reins, hoping to shed some of the contracts and players who were no longer fitting, swapping them off for picks, trying to change the team through the draft, and making a handful of deals that were somewhat outside the box. The jury is still out on a few of the draft picks, and will be for probab...

Overcoming the noise To deliver the understatement of the century, things have not be...

Canadiens Urged To Target 2 Blues' Big-Name Trade Candidates

The St. Louis Blues are selling. And as they say in the bankrupcy sales: Everything must go. Well, pretty much. Unfortunately, shoppers (i.e. NHL teams) are finding the price tags far too high in St. Louis to do any buying just yet.  But the Montreal Canadiens are being urged to go after two of the Blues' big-name trade candidates.  Nicolas Cloutier of TVA Sports says the Habs should forget about their long-stated target of a second-line center, and instead go for an elite scoring wi...
