Paul Holmgren confirms the Flyers will use a compliance buyout on Danny Briere. He said he informed Briere last week.

He easily should draw plenty of interest.

The injuries with him, are a concern however.

Makes sense.

Low salary, high cap hit, and the Flyers are still over the Salary Cap even after this.

You know who this is a sweet deal for? Briere.

CapGeek

His salary was already dropping from 7 to 3 million next season, but the cap hit remained at 6.5. Now he'll get a hefty buyout check and a chance to make more money off of another team.

Someone's gonna offer him money though, for sure, and most likely a playoff team. Briere has 109 points in 108 career playoff games. Damn, damn good in the postseason.
