If the Flyers need to clear room they're not going to trade away their #2 and #3 scorers who are 23 and 24 years old and are signed long term at $4M. I assume they'd sooner buy out the last 2 years of Briere's deal (would only cost $3.35M in cash spread out over 4 years) and clear $6.5M instantly if they actually need some space.
