Career

Daniel Brière was selected in the first round of the 1996 NHL Entry Draft in 24th position by the Phoenix Coyotes . After three years in the Ligue de hockey junior majeur du Québec with very high scorer values, Brière moved to the AHL team Springfield Falcons in 1997 . A year later he moved to the Phoenix Coyotes team. In 2002 he switched to the Buffalo Sabers . In spring 2004 Brière was instrumental in Canada's world title, together with Dany Heatley he caused a sensation. He spent the lockout season together with Dany Heatley in the Swiss NLA at SC Bern . Brière failed with SC Bern in the semifinals at the eventual champions HC Davos with 2: 4 wins. Nevertheless, his engagement with the Bernese turned out to be successful, he scored 18 goals in 47 games and gave 35 assists.

In the 2005/06 season Brière managed to move into the Eastern Conference Finals with the Buffalo Sabers . In addition, from this season Brière acted together with Chris Drury as assistant captain of the Sabers . On December 5, 2006, he scored his first hat trick in the NHL against the Tampa Bay Lightning . In January 2007 he was nominated for the 55th NHL All-Star Game because he had got the second most votes in the Eastern Conference . In the All-Star Game he scored the second-highest point yield by a player in NHL history with one goal and four assists and was voted MVP of the All-Star Game. In the playoffs he reached the Eastern Conference final again with the Sabers and was the best scorer of his team in the regular season .

In the summer of 2007, his contract in Buffalo ran out and he moved to the Philadelphia Flyers . He received a total of 52 million US dollars for eight years, of which he received ten million in the first year alone, which made him the highest-paid player in the NHL for the 2007/08 season alongside Scott Gomez and Thomas Vanek . In his first season in the Flyers jersey , he could not build on the previous performance in Buffalo, but was behind Mike Richards the team's best offensive player on points. Brière was part of a major personnel change at Philadelphia, which moved into the Eastern Conference final of the play-offs after poor performance in previous years. Overall, Brière was successful with nine goals and seven assists in the play-offs. The following season 2008/09 was marked for Brière by a large number of injuries, so that he completed a total of only 29 games in regular time, in which he marked a total of 25 points scorer.

In February 2010, the Canadian managed a hat trick in the game against the Canadiens de Montréal , with each of his three hits falling in different game situations ( majority , 5 against 5 and a penalty ). In the play-offs, Brière, together with Scott Hartnell and Ville Leino, formed the outstanding attack line when the Flyers entered the Stanley Cup final . The right-handed shooter scored a total of 12 goals and 18 assists, setting a new franchise record for the Flyers for most scorer points in the play-offs. In January 2011, Brière took part in the All-Star Game as a replacement for Jarome Iginla and was able to record two goals. In the 2011/12 season, the Canadian scored a hat trick in the 3-2 win against the Ottawa Senators and thus all three goals for the Flyers . In the play-offs he was able to convince again with strong offensive performances in the form of eight goals in eleven games, but not prevent his team's elimination against the New Jersey Devils in the second round .

On October 4, 2012, Daniel Brière signed a contract with the Eisbären Berlin from the German Ice Hockey League due to the lockout of the 2012/13 NHL season . He played 21 games for the capital city, before he was out due to an injury until the end of the players' strike.

In June 2013, however, the Flyers paid out his contract early ( buy out ). On July 4, 2013, Brière signed a two-year contract with the Canadiens de Montréal. After a season in Montréal, the Canadiens transferred him to the Colorado Avalanche in exchange for winger Pierre-Alexandre Parenteau and a five-round vote for the 2015 NHL Entry Draft .

After the 2014/15 season, when his contract in Colorado expired, he announced the end of his active career on August 17, 2015.

Brière then moved to management when he took over the position of General Manager at the newly founded Maine Mariners from ECHL in 2018 .
