With past trades, the Flyers have already demonstrated their willingness to accept bad contracts, such as the Ivan Provorov trade, in which the team acquired a first-round pick and two second-round picks for Provorov, Kevin Connauton, and Hayden Hodgson. As well as securing Cal Petersen's $5 million contract, Philadelphia is showing how they can absorb cap pressure by working with others.
It is Briere's nature to think outside the box, and he is willing to assist a team as long as the team reciprocates. As the Flyers face the trade deadline and injuries mount, this could be a significant period for Briere to reshape the team the way he sees fit.
