Even before the injury, I wouldn't have made it.

It's incredibly shortsighted. We're damn near free of the Jackman plague. Doesn't he only have one more season on his deal? Then he'll be a FA and we can move on with his salary in our pockets to put to better use.

By dealing him for an aging Pronger (even with an intact spine), you're taking a 1 year liability and turning it into a 5 year one with an asset that is depreciating rapidly.

Nah, that's not a deal you make, even if Pronger wasn't undergoing this surgery.

It could always be worse, I could be a Cubs fan. (But please, if you could spare me the parallels between the respective organizations, I'd really appreciate it).

Would the people that said yes to the Pronger deal still make it?

I never believed Pronger to be a piece of our puzzle. I've always felt he was one of those guys who'd always be a piece to someone else's, like Brett Hull was, etc. (Imho for Hull to have been our piece, we'd have to had kept Adam Oates.)

Yeah, I'm an idiot :|
