As such, Flyers center Danny Briere -- who's been playing with Eisbaren Berlin of the Deutsche Eishockey Liga of Germany since October -- signed a contract extension on Thursday through the end of the DEL season, his agent, Pat Brisson, confirms.
Briere's contract would allow the 35-year-old to depart Germany for Philadelphia if the NHL were to return this season. But if the entire season is canceled, Briere will remain in Berlin.
