I get the salary, not the years. And I think Streit is capable defensively.

I think it was unfortunately hand in hand.. he wanted a retirement contract and we had no other option...if he plays to potential, it's better than me watching us hemmed in our zone all year with no counter attack from the forwards cause they don't have the puck.

Hey...look at Pronger laughing! He'll be ready for next year!!

Kidding of course. Glad to see him with a smile and hope he gets back to a normal life.

To be fair, no one's as good as Matt Walker.

...at getting food for the rest of the guys in the Cote Suite.

LOL now that is funny... Pronger prob said... Hey Ed.. we gonna get the team to sign a goalie again?

Nah, Snider's holding up the wrong finger.

No, he was fantastic at pumping gas to fill up the Adirondack bus.

He's not bad. He's not Chara or Weber. But he's not Matt Walker either.

I'd take him here, but he's not a real two way dman.

I hope we gut our d, trading cobby, mezzy and grossman and go with 5 puckmovers plus schenn

we need 2, already have schenn, strait, kimmo, gus

Seriously though, it looks like Pronger is feeling better... fantastic news really. I wonder if when he is in the HHOF, if we retire his #20.?

Not a good idea... if I had my choice.. I would trade Mesz and keep Coburn but he has no value.

Yeah, glad he's feeling well enough (hopefully) to help out. Most of a day in Newark could set him back quite a bit, though.

Wonder if he'll be wearing headphones...seriously. All of that constant talking and moving around can't be good for him.

Spending most of the day in Newark would set anyone back quite a bit

I've seen a game there before.. he's likely to get in a street fight walking from the cab to the rink.

Ear plugs, sunglasses, and a muzzle for Joe Watson.

I'd take Pronger in my entourage any day.

Man...the suspense is terrible...I hope it'll last.

never a bad time for a slapshot reference

I think if he was still healthy and playing for us, we'd be a contender. Guy had everything as a player.. leader, offensive ability, snarl, positional master on D...

Man...the suspense is terrible...I hope it'll last.
- TheGreat28

The flyers will end up standing pat, drafting a center at 11 and call it a day

Pronger is coming back next year making Coburn Meszaros and Grossmann expendable

Man...the suspense is terrible...I hope it'll last.
- TheGreat28

I hope I am not disappointed

I'd take Pronger in my entourage any day.

So would my wife. She once saw a picture of him on a boat with the rest of the team where he had no shirt on. Dude was quite built, to say the least.
