Daily News | Flyers announce ‘new era of orange’ with Danny Brière and Keith Jones hires
Or, at least, that’s what the signs and the speakers proclaimed Friday as the five new leaders of the Flyers assembled for the first time together on a stage on the Wells Fargo Center floor.
As he laid out the organization’s plan for the future, Hilferty was quick to address skepticism toward this new era given that Jones and Brière, two former Flyers, will oversee the hockey side of things. They looked for the two best candidates, Hilferty said, and the two best candidates just happened to be former Flyers.
“I was part of the discussion to put Danny in as interim,” Hilferty said. “I had gotten to know him. I had a sense that, wow, if we had to make a decision today, he would be our permanent GM.” Brière might not have NHL general manager experience, but Camillo emphasized the eight years he has spent working with the Flyers’ front office. Add in his experience as a player, and they feel he has in-depth knowledge to push this team into the NHL’s new era.
