Going back to last year, all you herd up here in Buffalo is rumors out of Philly on how Biron will convince Briere to come to Philly and how he will bring great things to the city of Philly. I think Briere took for granted what he had in Buffalo. He played on a line with Chris Drury and Jochen Hecht. Those two were able to cover up his craptastic defensive play. Look at Brieres +/- this year. Look at Mike Richards +/-. Richards is a complete all around player. Brieres flaws were covered by Drury and hecht last year in Buffalo. Danny�s good for a dumb penalty at crucial parts of the game. Although very skilled offensively, Briere is not a complete player. Guess the love affair with Biron and Briere is over already huh�� I still think Philly can make some noise in the playoffs if they can catch lightning in a bottle with one of there goaltenders�.

Vaz- Briere is not a max money guy and he is making that painfully obvious to PHI fans. You are absolutely right...he was a product of his environment, and products of your environment players aren't 6.5M players. He is just brutal. He is almost invisible on the ice excpet when PHI gets scored on and you see him skate to the bench. And you are so correct on Richards who is a complete player. PHI made a dumb move unless they can surround him with 2 great players and find those great players somewhere.

And Vaz- people were excited to have him because i don't think anyone knew how piss poor he was without Gretzky and Esposito on his wings. He is a minus 20 something, he has no points in 5 of L6 games and only has 1 multipoint game in his last 16 games. I would say when you are paying a guy 6.5M, as a fan, you sure as heck have every right to expect more out of him. When you've lost 6 in a row and not only isn't your big money guy carring you, he's one of the worst guys on the ice most nights....that won't cut it......

Biron and Briere can load their mini-van up and head the freek back to BUF for all i care. Big wastes of money.
