Pronger deal OK'd

14

Anyone else have a problem with the possible politics and timing of this? Hrmn, Ed Snider (proud member of the Old Boys Club) and Media Giant Comcast and parent company for the Flyers. Seems to me the NHL does not want to upset those two entities. The timing bothers me because if the reason for this 2-day delay is to work out an agreement between the NHL and the PA regarding future long-term or possible Cap-circumventing contracts, why doesn't the Pronger deal fit into the mix? Not to mention, it seems the Savard contract (and the Jacobs in Boston) are no longer mentioned in the possible Cap-circumvention deals. Ugh. Sound off!
