After 17 seasons, five franchises and two All-Star appearances, Daniel Briere is hanging up his skates. The veteran center told LeDroit (h/t Sportsnet) that he will announce his retirement at a news conference in Philadelphia on Tuesday.
Briere, 37, spent the 2014-15 season with the Colorado Avalanche. He had eight goals and four assists in 57 appearances, his worst marks in more than a decade. While there were questions about how much he had left in the tank, Briere said his decision largely came down to wanting to spend more time with his three children, who are based in the Northeast.
