The Philadelphia Flyers and GM Danny Briere held a pre-training camp presser on Tuesday morning.

Flyers brass were all smiles to begin the press conference. The first bit of information noted was that Sean Couturier and Cam Atkinson are expected to be back for the 2023-24 season. "Briere says that knock on wood, but everyone is healthy on the verge of the start of camp. That includes Sean Couturier and Cam Atkinson." quoted from Charlie O'Connor, writer of PHLY Sports.
In some serious, not-so-pleasing business, a pending Hockey Canada investigation still hangs in the balance for multiple NHL players who were a part of the 2018 World Junior Championship Canada team. The players involved in the sexual assault allegations were expected to be reported months ago, yet not one person has been named, punished, fined, or suspended for their involvement.
Flyers goaltender Carter Hart was a part of that 2018 World Junior team, they rumour that he may have taken part in the sexual misconduct. The matter is he is innocent till proven guilty, but nobody knows for certain how this issue will unfold � neither does the organization's management staff. Danny Briere has been fairly quiet regarding the accusations and Carter Hart's connection, if any. However, Briere was asked a loaded question on the pending Hockey Canada investigation.

"We've asked, but we don't know much. We're not being told much. They're still investigating. I have no clue. I thought something would have been done by the summer." Danny Briere continued, "We're like everybody else. We're waiting to see what happens."
The Flyers GM states the team has asked about the situation. Nobody is budging. He, like many hockey fans, thought that something should/would have been done over the summer. Everyone is left out of the loop currently and it appears it will stay that way until further notice.
