Tim Panaccio: Crazy Day for Flyers Just the Beginning
Kinda crazy day for the Flyers.
For starters, as Eklund wrote earlier, Danny Briere is a definite buyout recipient next week while goalie Ilya Bryzgalov, as I have been saying, remains up in the air.

Kevin Freiheit: Would Briere return?
I know I've been disappearing lately after each post. I'm on Long Island now and will be taking a trip to Boston this week.
There's not much going on with the Sabres as this usually is a quiet time of the season. However, it sounds like Daniel Briere may be bought out by the Flyers, and if so, why wouldn't the Sabres take a chance on him?
