Re: Pronger
Being hired by the NHL while he's still under contract with the Flyers is odd, but I don't have a major problem with that. I think it's a mistake to have him involved with supplemental discipline though. I'd like to think he would be fair regardless of any ties to a team or any players, but it needlessly gives off a bad appearance.

Re: Pronger
I get it.
If anyone is going to fully understand the actions of players making questionable hits & whatnot, it is Pronger.
He would be an expert more than just about anyone else on knowing exactly what was going through their minds.

Re: Pronger
DOUBLE PAYCHECKS?! That must be cool. Of course, I'm sure he'd give them both up to be able to play. He should do well in this role. Like Curt said, he has the experience. I have no problem with it.

Re: Pronger
Seems like an extremely questionable hire for well, pretty much the reasons above...two checks? Still officially under employ of a particular club? Err, an expert arbiter on player safety and discipline? Wha?
Pronger and Shanahan...this is some kind of f'in joke. What-Luc Robitaille and Paul Kariya weren't available? You couldn't find an actual sports medicine person for this? The self-promotion is a bit thick and gauche at this point.
Also, I guess his condition must have improved greatly if he's going to travel and do any sort of real job. The articles about him before last season made it sound as if he barely functions-sitting alone in darkened rooms of his house, unable to play with his kids without having spells of vertigo. Just odd.

Re: Pronger
Pronger would be the last guy I would hire for the job especially since he is still getting paid as a Flyer.
