Crossing Broad (a more reliable site than this) reported yesterday via a Haddonfield resident that Chris Pronger's house, which he rents from former Flyer Jason Smith, is apparently up for sale. This adds fuel to the rumor that Pronger is done. GM Paul Holmgren was quick to address the rumor last week, saying the Pronger was going to St. Louis for awhile because of an illness in his wife's family. Of course Holmgren pretty much has to say this in order to save the Flyers money. If Pronger officially retires this season it means a huge salary cap hit for the team. If he doesn't officially reitre he can stay on long-term injured reserve basically until his contract is up like Ian Laperriere did before he retired last week.
For all we know Pronger could just be moving somewhere else, maybe Manayunk, maybe the Main Line, but it shall be interesting to see where he turns up after this year, even if it's not with the Flyers.
