Briere's Bold Plan for Jiricek After Brink Swap
Danny Briere pulls off the Flyers' first deadline splash, flipping middle-six scorer Bobby Brink to Minnesota for the towering David Jiricek, a former sixth-overall pick who's bounced from Columbus to the Wild. Instead of rushing the 6-foot-4 Czech blueliner straight to Philly, Briere sends him to Lehigh Valley to lock in Calder Cup playoff eligibility while preserving precious NHL call-up slots for guys like Alex Bump and Oliver Bonk.
