Briere a Flyer?

It appears the Flyers have chosen their future center, Daniel Briere. Briere immediately makes the Flyers a playoff contender. Flyers have made tremendous strides in reloading after their worst season ever. I still like Gomez better as a Flyer, but Briere will bring excitement, speed, and creativity to a roster than will thrive around him. I admit, I thought Buffalo would offer him more than they did.
Schneider signed for over $11 million for 2 years at 38 years old? And everyone criticized the Flyers signing of Timonen. Don't they feel dumb. With so many teams well under the new cap, contract amounts were sure to be underestimated.
