'We’re going to do things, obviously, for the future, but at the same time we expect these guys to go out and win every game and I hope they know that,' said the first-year general manager on Tuesday.
, the president of hockey operations: How do you balance wanting to win with wanting to focus on development? How do you balance wanting to develop young players with also putting them in the best position to succeed?
There are some young players at the edges of the roster who will make a strong push this week and in the ones that follow to make the NHL club. There are some veterans at the edges of the roster whose presence might help win an extra game or two, and will also be beneficial for leadership.“It’s a fine line where you want to give the young guys a chance — and Torts did a tremendous job of that last year — but at the same time not putting them in position to fail,” Brière said.
Look no further than Cam York for an example of how this philosophy works. The Flyers, Tortorella especially, didn’t think the then-21-year-old was ready for the NHL out of training camp last year. “He went back to Lehigh Valley where he was able to get a lot of confidence and he came back and was one of our best defensemen from the time he came back to the end of the year and we’re expecting him to almost be like a veteran this year,” Brière said.
