Proposal: Philly-Flames

[OriginJM]

also the fact that he's 28 and never played a playoff game in his life

no thanks

At this point, I wouldn't do it. But, Briere needs to be moved to the wing next season. He may not produce as much, but he'll be much less of a defensive liability.

Doesn't Briere have 3 years left compared to J-Bo's 2? Danny is only going to get worse defensively. I would take this deal, but I would still want to add another big d man to pair with Kimmo. His 50 points would need to be replaced but I don't think its unreasonable to believe Couts and Schenn could pick up the majority of those in his time.

There would definitely be places for briere, I think Colorado with all their young players could use leadership, but the biggest thing with him is if he would waive his clause or not, I don't think he does he loves it here

I always thought he was happy here (plus he has kids in school), but who knows for sure. Danny-B moving out west could help his game and give him a chance to be a huge leader just as you said. Colorado has a lot of pieces they could trade and have the cap space to build.

As for J-Bo, I wouldn't mind him coming here either if we can make the cap work and we don't have to pay a lot to get him here - especially if we don't end up getting any other free agent D.

He's a huge leader here...

Why does everyone talk about Briere's clutchness in he playoffs but never talk about how hes the reason we get so much goals scored on during the playoffs? the guys a career minus player in the playoffs.

Because he's responsible for more goals for than against.

Nope.....well, maybe, but I do wish Bouwmeester was meaner and I hate losing Briere in the play offs. Guy is a menace.
