Insiders On Drury

Why Drury? It was in July 2007 that Holmgren, in his first full off-season as Philadelphia’s GM, signed Daniel Briere to an eight-year, $52 million contract. When Briere retired in 2015, Holmgren invited him to learn the business. Now, Briere is GM of the ECHL Maine Mariners, who have an affiliate agreement with both the Flyers and the New York Rangers — who employ Drury, an old friend and teammate.
