If Pronger has to retires due to the concussion, his cap hit is still on book no?

if so, I wonder if they do with Laperriere and have on the LITR .......

hope he pulls thrugh this.

If he cannot return, he's almost certain to be on LTIR for the balance of his contract.

Sad to see. Love him or hate him, no one will argue that he isn't one of the most dominate, game changing defensemen in recent memory. He's one of the players that makes everyone around them better and it's pretty tough to replace a guy like that.

Nice...

I still don't get how THAT caused a concussion though...seems like a 1 in a million shot. I thought it was just his eye at the time.

still takes up tagging space, its a real cluster

hopefully the new CBA allows two contracts to be bought out without repercussions

perhaps he can be loaned to the KHL

Going to go in some murky waters here. Been a longtime hockey fan, and watching pronger win his triple gold international crown, through to his final games as a flyer. Great hockey player. Unfortunately, hes a victim of his own game. Pronger is a guy thats played incredibly dirty his entire career. It's the way of the game a lot of people would say. Well, life has a funny way of giving karma back to us. No man is an island. We all swim in the same pools. But the guy played hockey recklessly and selfishly for a very prolonged period of time. It is unlikely the man ever comes back to play hockey. Though, if he does, and miracles have happened, I'd bet it would be at a fraction of his former self. No doubt hes one of the best defenders in the modern NHL, but suffering such a major concussion, coupled with his wife's pain visible each hour of each day for him, there is no way he can come back at the same level.

Hopefully he finds a way to learn his lesson through this, so that he can get himself back to a more functioning human being for his children and wife. As that is where
he needs to invest himself now.

It's time to retire Chris. For your family and healths sake. Coming back will lead to disaster. Good Luck Pronger and family.

I must admit I had much the same thoughts.
