LOL



Pronger was injured 2011/12. Which is like 2nd year into his contract with flyers. If he wanted to terminate the contract and walk away from 26+ mil then i don't see why Flyers wouldn't agree to that lol

Also, in Byfugly's case I think it's a bit unique because he won a cup, and made enough dough in his career. On top of that, he lost interest playing hockey, and he would rather spend time with his family and kids instead of traveling quite often for games, keeping in enough shape to play, his injuries also probably demotivated him etc.
I think some peg fans are relived his contract is terminated because i remember when he signed that 5yr contract, majority said he will be sick for the first 3 years but be an anchor in the last 2 from age/injury/unfit shape etc. So now they got out ezpz.
I mean, he's pretty dope for being an 8th rounder pick.

When you're late in your career you're way more liable to incurring injuries that can impact you for the rest of your life. It's not just about the money or being able to play at a pro level. Who wants to stick around too long and end up like Pronger or Savard?

I don't think anybody is going to go after him. Maybe he will get a 1 year deal somewhere if he wants to play.

He had a habit of showing up overweight to camp. Now he has been off for an extended period of time and his passion for the game is probably gone.

You cant expect an out of shape 35 year old to rebound, mentally and physically. Realistically I think his career is done. Even if someone takes a chance on him I don't think they will be impressed.

Really unique player who always brought lots of excitement to the game. He will be missed.

he will get a 1 year prove it deal somewhere

I think he will retire, 1yr prove it deal doesn't make sense to me. Prove what? He's like on the verge of retiring.. Should I finally pig out all the way and enjoy much food I want? Or still be fit enough to play for the year & and more..

Dustin is going to get a big deal when he becomes a UFA...

Whichever Gm planning to get fired and wanna say fuck you to the org would have hell of a time.

35+yr old contract, lock him up so he can either be an anchor or on ltir lol

I can't see him sign though because he's the same guy that lost passion playing hockey and didn't show up to camp just to collect ez money. Maybe there's something more behind the scenes btwn him and the jets org, then maybe he will sign elsewhere to start fresh

he had a great playoffs last year, he's had a year to heal, he's fine.

I'm sure he is fine, but is he gonna get enough spark back to playing hockey in a new city and ask his fam to wait another x years?

I mean he did say good bye to 14 million dollars, and to a playoff team, In a city he supposedly loves.

I'm going to assume he didn't like Maurice

but he'll get a good deal by a playoff team
