Philadelphia Flyers general manager Daniel Briere has already made major decision in the last month, terminating coach John Tortorella after it became clear that the team would not qualify for the Stanley Cup Playoffs.
The Philadelphia Flyers are facing increased scrutiny after they yet again missed the Stanley Cup Playoffs.
General manager Daniel Briere, one of the most clutch postseason performers in recent NHL history that now serves as the club's general manager, made a key decision in the final weeks of the year to terminate coach John Tortorella.
Assistant coach Brad Shaw was named the team's head coach on an interim basis for the rest of the year; he went 5-3-1 in 9 games.
Now that the summer has arrived early for the club yet again, Briere has his work cut out for him to not only improve the team as a whole but to put them in a position to realistically compete for a playoff spot.
During his end of season media availability, Briere hinted at offseason additions to the club to try and attain better results in 2025-26.
I think we're at a stage now where we're going to shift a little bit from subtracting from the roster into trying to start to add and help the team.
He continued:
It's no secret I think that last year we probably overachieved from what the expectations were. This year, we underachieved, but I still feel that we're a much better team and much closer than where we finished in the standings. I've always said the players would kind of dictate that. There are guys that really took a big step forward, there are a few guys that regressed, but I don't think we're that far off.
Will Briere be able to lead the club that he once starred for on the ice back to the postseason in 2026?
