NHL Players Suspended Due to 2018 Team Canada Junior Scandal: Flyers' General Manager Daniel Brière Makes a Bold Statement
Daniel Brière is in his first season as the general manager of the Philadelphia Flyers. Throughout the offseason, he has been working hard to strengthen his team. However, a significant issue remains that brings a lot of uncertainty concerning the Flyers' future plans.
Indeed, we are still waiting for a verdict on the five players who will be suspended due to the 2018 Team Canada Junior scandal. One of the names frequently mentioned in the rumor mill as being involved is the Flyers' goaltender, Carter Hart. Judging by his recent remarks, Brière seems eager to finally get some clarity on this matter.
We know there will be five players suspended, but who will they be?
«We have asked questions, but we don't know much. They're not telling us much. The investigation continues. I have no idea. I thought something would have been resolved before the summer.
We're like everyone else. We're waiting to see what will happen.» - Daniel Brière
A powerful statement.
If Carter Hart is eventually found to be involved in this situation, he will undoubtedly face disciplinary action, potentially even a suspension by the League. This would require Brière to quickly find a replacement goaltender. It's understandable why the GM would have preferred this issue to be settled during the summer rather than shortly before the season starts.
