As a result of the David Kase trade, a winger who didn't fit into the organization was sent packing. The Flyers received some assets they needed for the rebuild in exchange from the Carolina Hurricanes.

This includes winger Massimo Rizzo, who was acquired with a 2025 5th-round pick in the David Kase trade.

As Rizzo lights up the NCHC with the University of Denver, Briere has been the master of talent acquisition lately.

With 11 games played at the University of Denver, the Flyers prospect has scored 5 goals and tallied 20 points.

With Rizzo leading the nation in scoring, Briere should be proud of his ability to find diamonds in the rough.

As a scoring threat, Rizzo posted 46 points in 38 games last year at the University of Denver.

Imagine the team with Rizzo, Gauthier, and Michkov all on the ice at once.

Be happy Flyers fans, there's some great news here.
