Flyers GM Daniel Briere announces two players won't return next season
Daniel Briere, in a significant move shaping the Philadelphia Flyers future, announced that Denis Gurianov and Marc Staal will not be returning next season.
In an effort to bolster the Flyers during what turned into an unexpected playoff charge, Briere brought in Denis Gurianov. However, Gurianov struggled to make an impact, appearing in just four games after being acquired from the Predators.
Meanwhile, the decision to part ways with veteran defenseman Marc Staal has been met with mixed reactions from the Flyers' fanbase. Staal, who has played over 1,000 NHL games, contributed modestly this season with only one goal and five points across 35 games. While never a high scorer, Staal's performance this season has sparked discussions about the twilight of his NHL career.
On social media platform X, one fan expressed their thoughts on Staal's departure.
