The Philadelphia Flyers are striving for long-term success and are focused on establishing a new foundation.

This effort includes bringing in a new front office and hiring John Tortorella as coach last season, with the goal of instilling discipline and a tough philosophy on the ice.
Flahr and Briere both said they care much more about where they project players in 3-4 years than on which ones may debut the soonest in the NHL.

Danny Briere has stated that for his next pick, he is looking for a player who will be ready in the next 3-4 years, instead of someone who can contribute immediately.
Danny Briere on the draft:

"I still want to take the best available player." Regardless, if it's Michkov.
Danny Briere says he believes he will have a chance to meet with Matvei Michkov
Matvei Michkov, who has dropped in draft rankings due to supposed character concerns, fits this description.
As a future franchise player, Michkov could be an asset to the Flyers and may be the best choice available at their pick.
Briere and the Flyers are reportedly interested in Michkov and he may be a part of the team's long-term plans.
