Danny Briere is set to become a free agent after the Philadelphia Flyers informed the veteran they intend to buy out the final two years of his contract, a source told ESPN.com's Pierre LeBrun.
The source said that Briere and general manager Paul Holmgren met last week, at which time the Flyers forward was informed of the team's decision.
The Flyers still owe Briere $5 million as part of the eight-year, $52 million contract he signed in free agency on July 1, 2007. He's a 15-year NHL veteran, who had six goals and 10 assists in 34 games last season.
A seven-time 25-goal scorer, Briere's production has tailed off as a result of various injuries, including a concussion.
The move will shave $6.5 million off the Flyers' salary cap for the next two seasons.
 
 

 
 
Would love if the Rangers went after him. Good pick-up. Flyers just had to let him go for financial reasons.

Depending on his price, I'm sure most teams would be interested in giving Briere a shot.

May not be surprising, but reports are indicating Bryzgalov will be bought out.

Headed to the K?
