    I hope for Briere that he clicks on the wing. With Richard and Carter coming hard at center, Briere will have to do more to get the 1st line center spot.

    Are you kidding??? What do you think they are going to do? Drop their 7.5 million dollar player to third line center? LOL He will be a first line player for the next 5 years...

    Trying to remove some of the defensive responsibilities from Danny, help his +- out. We\'ll see what will happen going forward and the severity of the Lupul lower leg injury. We all know no lines stay the same for that long w/ shifty steve.:laugh:

    This isn\'t some pipe dream of mine, this is how the flyers lined up tonight to start the game (prior to lupul going down, now the lines have shifted of course).

    ?? Never said he will be a third liner. I don\'T know where you got that. I just said it adds pressure on its shoulder, the fact that he has to produce for 7.5M$ and it would be nice to see him perform on the wing with Richards in the center.

    I love this idea. Briere on the wing could be a stroke of genius. This would free up room for Carter on the 2nd line and give Richards more time with Danny Boy. Long term this could be the answer to a lot of questions.

    I know this was just a bit of line tinkering, but I can see the motivations and the potential benefits.

    Does anyone know if Briere ever played wing in Junior?

    Is Breire\'s Wing experiment an attempt to see how he might perform with Forsberg as his Centre?

    Foppa is staying away. I\'m happy with this decision. There is too many other concerns on the Flyers to have to worry about Fops and his salary for next year.
