Philadelphia Flyers interim general manager Danny Briere and coach John Tortorella are prepared for a rebuilding process by looking to replenish the roster through the draft and their farm system.
, the leaders of the Flyers spoke out and said, hey, about those splashy headlines in Philly, they’re not for us.The forlorn Philadelphia Flyers are in full-blown rebuild mode — and coach John Tortorella and interim general manager Danny Briere are tempering offseason expectations for any fan looking for a quick fix.
Tortorella, who won a Stanley Cup with Tampa Bay in 2004, brandished his reputation as a fiery, no-nonsense coach on a team that seemingly wasn’t ready for his prickly personality. He mentioned a few players would push back on his blunt criticisms — which Tortorella said he respected — but there were more headaches than expected from a 31-win team inside the locker room.
"We’re not looking out to go sign a big-time free agent with lots of term on the contract, at the moment," he said.
