The Philadelphia Flyers had many goals heading into this past offseason, but none of them were more of a necessity than shoring up the defense and getting a reliable goaltender. The Flyers did just that with two acquisitions. First, Chris Pronger came to Philadelphia after being traded on draft day from the likes of Joffrey Lupul, and Luca Sbisa. Also, lets’ not leave out two first-round unknowns. The city of brotherly love right away had split opinions of this high risk high-reward pickup. The positive side was the fact that Pronger was a proven winner, leader, enforcer, and a man who can dominate and make the game come to him. The negative was the question about his age.
