Legend D Chris Pronger UFA
OK. So tell me real quick if this is off limits because he was cloned. The original seems available. I want that. But someone also cloned him. So is he not available? Or is he available. If he is available, I will take him. But if he isn't available, I have another pick ready. So I need to know if he's available. That's important information, because if he is I'm happy to take him. But get this, if he is off limits, I have another pick ready to go. Crazy right? But first, before we progress, I'll need to know if he's available. Get it? Because if he's available I'll just keep it. If he is not available, then it goes without saying that I'm going to take someone else.
Anyway.
CHRIS PRONGER
This is a dude we are all familiar with so I don't think we need to introduce him too much. The Chris formerly known as Pronger was a physical menace early in his career. Later in his career, he was a positional menace. I've never seen someone deny ice like him. It was amazing. His speed was shot and it didn't matter. He didn't care. He stopped everything. My favorite play by Pronger was at the blue line inthe playoffs against Buffalo. I forget who was carrying it in; it may have been Vanek, so no slouch. Pronger was a few feet inside the blue line, just standing there. Staring. Vanek was carrying in and he noticed that if he tried to cut to the middle, Pronger was there. If he tried cutting towards the boards, Pronger could take a couple strides and smush him. He just f***ing stopped at the line. His linemates both skated offside and had to scramble back in. Vanek just dumped it. Pronger defeated a rush like that. Respect.
Here is his official portrait.
