The Flyers are a mediocre team. And that's being kind.
So Briere doesn't make any trades at the deadline because................Comcast has told him to remain mediocre? That's the only explanation. There's no reason Briere shouldn't have dumped a half-dozen of these Losers to stockpile assets (and/or get cap space).
Flyers are in hockey Purgatory. Not good enough to make the playoffs, not bad enough to get high draft picks, to draft players who could actually make a difference (O.K., maybe Michkov and Martone pan out, but that's years away). That is a death sentence in a salary-capped league. But that's o.k., with their mid-1st round picks I'm sure Briere and the scouts will find plenty of third-line grinders, like Luchenko and Nesbitt, so we'll remain perpetually in Purgatory.
But hey, as long as there's Asses in the seats..........
