Is Pronger still with the DOPS? That may explain things.

I think he may have been promoted to a higher office in the league. It is kind of ironic that someone who was every bit as dirty as Matt Cooke and who deliberately tried to amputate a guy's foot with his skate blade (a la Chris Simon) is so highly regarded. Regardless, Parros is still in the DoPS and I am sure his decisions follows a similar thought pattern.
When choosing people to run the DoPS the league follows the same approach that the UN does when it appoints nations like Cuba, Syria, and China to its human rights commission
