Chuck Fletcher out as Philadelphia GM, Danny Briere named Interim GM

Fletcher being out is a good thing, but they have to change their whole organizational philosophy.  If you get rid of the GM but ownership/scouting/other management doesn't do a 360 on how they want to build a team, it won't change much.

Well Flyers fans I know are VERY happy and they are apparently going to hire 2 people. One as GM and one as President. Briere's just interim but could end up as the GM. In any event unless Holmgren and Clarke step aside whoever gets the job is going to have a hard time fixing that mess.

Maybe that was the deal with Satan that Briere and Drury made when they parted ways with the Sabres on the same day...that they would someday become GMs for rival teams.

Interestingly, all 3 of those guys ended up GMing the team they went to after being on that magical Sabres team.

Grier.

Lol that’s hilarious I read “miro Satan” when he meant the devil 

grier reference just lost me I guess, my bad. Didn’t see it referenced in thread until you alluded to him

Realize that.  As discussed with Thorny, the 3rd guy was Grier.  Who IS the GM of the team he played for between stints with the Sabres.  (San Jose.)

It was mentioned upthread that there were 3 GM's from the '05-'06 team.  Hadn't realized that Grier's name hadn't been mentioned upthread nor that anybody thought of Miro when discussing that team because at Drury's request, he wasn't a part of that team.  He was released free and clear and the Sabres were better for it.

Totally got that you were referring to the devil in your statement.  And as mentioned, never considered Miro when reading it.

This topic is OLD. A NEW topic should be started unless there is a VERY SPECIFIC REASON to revive this one.
