Brière addressed the latest around 2023 first-rounder Matvei Mitchvov, Bobby Brink's contract situation, and more in part one of two Q&A's with The Inquirer.
Flyers GM Danny Brière discusses upcoming free agency, Sean Couturier’s future at NHL Scouting Combine
Q: In terms of the unrestricted free agents, you have already stated that Denis Gurianov is most likely not coming back. The same with Marc Staal. Do you see defenseman Erik Johnson fitting in with this team next year?Yeah, very much. We’re not going to bring Marc back. Marc is going to move on and it was a tough situation last year away from his family. We liked what he brought.
Q: There was a lot of talk about Sean Couturier and how things went last season, specifically between him and coach John Tortorella. He then hired a new agent and there’s been some speculation about his future with the team.It’s all good, as far as I know now. They’ve had some talks. I think it’s really, the relationship between the two is growing. It probably wasn’t ideal, and it probably shouldn’t have gone maybe as public as it did. But I think it’s fine now. Sean’s not going anywhere.
Q: Several guys’ names have been brought up in trade rumors, like Joel Farabee, Morgan Frost, and Scott Laughton, whose name always seems to be in the mix. Are there trade talks going on?Yeah, it’s been quiet on that front. Last year, I think everybody knew that I was a new GM looking to make moves. So I think teams were a lot more aggressive with me trying to figure out and that’s why something happened with Ivan Provorov early.
