The Flyers just signed little Dan Briere. The Canadians were offering 6 years $42 million aka $7 million a year. Thus you have to figure Philly up'd the ante just a bit. No official word on the contract just yet.
**EDIT**
TSN.ca is reporting the contract is worth 8 years and $52 million. $10 million the first year and a no trade clause. The contract is just less than $7 mil per year on average.
The little guy isn't worth that kind of money, however Darcy Regier receives my scorn and hate for this one because A. he let him go to arbitration last year and B. he didn't get a long term deal brokered when all Dan wanted was 5 years $25 mil.
Drury is looking to get around $8 mil and had a meeting with people in LA today. He is probably not leaving that meeting with out a fat check in his hand.

Briere's message to the fans
"I apologize to the fans," Briere said. "It's obviously a tough decision, and I'll always remember and cherish my time in Buffalo. All I can say is thank you to the fans.
"I'm really sad to be leaving the Buffalo Sabres organization and to leave the city, but it will always be a big part of my heart."
FFFFFFFFFFFFF you Dan the $10 million man
