This season, Anaheim lost to the Oilers in five games in the Western Conference finals. Pronger, 31, had 16 assists in the playoffs and scored five goals. During the regular season, he scored 12 goals and had 44 assists in 80 games. I liked it there. I had a fun year playing. It's something I'll remember for the rest of my life.

It was never any secret when Prongs went there that this was going to happen. If Pronger was traded, he and his new team would have to abide by his contract with the Oilers.

Lowe realized this was truly a pressing family issue, but he still felt it could be resolved. Lauren Pronger refused to live here, staying in St. Louis with the kids. One day later, Strachan wrote that Pronger had done his time in Edmonton and wanted out. Pronger could either get himself traded out of Edmonton to some major American city like New York or Los Angeles, as Lauren evidently desired, or he could split up his marriage and his family.

Now, some people, including Nichols, believe the Oilers should have played hardball with Pronger and forced him to honour his contract here, as a matter of business principle. And Lauren Pronger, it would appear, was never going to enjoy Edmonton. Even if the Oilers had had a concierge on hand — as they now do to help players and their families adapt to life in Edmonton — it would not have helped.

I remember several times Chris saying his deal with Edmonton was a very fast hurry up situation and that he didn't really understand all the details.

What uneducated hockey player does understand the details? Louis, and top in the U. I guarantee they did.

In the St. Louis Post-Dispatch newspaper after the Edmonton deal was done, Chris Pronger said as to his new contract with the Edmonton Oilers "There could be worse things in life". Then after Chris was in Edmonton, I saw another article in our St. Pronger went long-term on his contract, for the most money possible to lock in security for he and his very wealthy major St.

Louis blue-blood wife, and their 2 pups. Also, no teams were signing 5-year long term contracts last August for big money like the Oilers did with Pronger.

Then the NHL had a good as to revenue, and Chris started realizing mid-season that he screwed himself when he got greedy on his long-term contract with the Oilers. Salary matters in the NHL are now different and salary caps, both individual and team have increased, so now Pronger wants to dump his deal with the Oilers, using his wife for an excuse.

I hope you Oilers supporters up there wake up. I swear to God this Pronger trade fiasco is all staged with his agent. All you have to do is connect the dots and a blind hog could do it. Chris and Lauren have been trying to scrap his Edmonton contract since February I heard it here in St. Louis the 1st or 2nd week of February. All the pro sports agents are using family problems and issues to scrap or alter negotiated players contracts.

Has been in most pro sports for years. Louis high income suburb they never sold. Agent Pat Morris, said Chris Pronger "is in a position of risk in Edmonton", and that was why he has asked Kevin Lowe to move his client.

What is this all about with this say anything clown. What risk? Conversely, if Lauren were to divorce Chris, she will cut his nuts off and destroy him. No St. Louis judge is going to stand up to her and her highly influential St. I concur with you, the Oilers are going to have a very difficult time trading Pronger, and they may be stuck with each other.
