Frankly Speaking - with Frank Seravalli - Danny Briere, Philadelphia Flyers Interim GM

Danny Briere, Philadelphia Flyers Interim GM

04/06/23 • 22 min

Danny Briere was appointed Interim GM of the Philadelphia Flyers on March 10. The former Flyers forward has a unique view of the game from multiple angles - as a smaller, highly-skilled player who had to grind out his spot in the NHL, then as a minor league GM, before transitioning to the Flyers' front office over the last couple years. We'll get his insight on where the Flyers might be heading next if he's the man in charge, plus the influence John Tortorella will have on the decision-making process.

David Poile, Nashville Predators GM

After 25 years in the chair, David Poile's decision to step down as Nashville Predators GM sent shockwaves through the NHL earlier this month. He is the longest-serving GM in NHL history, the only man with more than 3,000 games and 1,500 wins, and has been in the chair consecutively for 39 years. Why now? We asked Poile that question, about his decision to bypass the Maple Leafs and build the Preds from the ground up, about his hunger to get his name on the Stanley Cup after nearly 40 years, and why Barry Trotz is the right man to follow his legacy.
