D Chris Pronger expects to commit to the Flyers for a lot longer than the one year and $6.25 million left on his contract. In all likelihood he would request the same pay on a three-year extension that would allow him to retire in Philadelphia. |

When asked if he was surprised at the Flyers acquiring Pronger from the Ducks for forward Joffrey Lupul, rookie defenseman Luca Sbisa and two first-round picks, Toronto Maple Leafs GM Brian Burke told NHL.com, "I think he was born to wear orange. He's got the whole package, size and skill as well as being a leader. But the fans in Philadelphia will love that mean streak he brings to every game." Recommendation: Pronger will likely step right into the number one defensemen role, where he will add some mean streak to the Flyers they have lacked since the days of Eric Lindros and John Leclair (the Legion of Doom line). His fantasy value should rise with this trade. He is going to one of the highest scoring teams in the NHL playing with dynamic forwards such as Mike Richards, and Jeffer Carter. He will also get more power play chances and time by not playing alongside Scott Niedermayer. |

Pronger and prospect Ryan Dingle went from the Anaheim Ducks to Philadelphia on Friday for forward Joffrey Lupul, defenseman Luca Sbisa, first-round picks in 2009 and 2010 and a conditional third-round pick in 2010 or 2011. Advice: The 34-year-old Pronger, who had 11 goals and 37 assists in 82 games last season, is going into the final year of a contract that will pay him $6.25 million next season. In 1,022 career games, Pronger has 142 goals and 464 assists for 606 points. |
