It has been a highly debated topic since 2022, whether Danny Briere has passed on higher-upside players in the NHL Entry Draft for safer picks, or positions of need.

We’ve all had them. A player we followed from their draft year, or from another team’s system, or someone we happened to see play one great game, and then we believe in them.And, typically for the Philadelphia Flyers, that player just doesn’t meet expectations.
