The Philadelphia Flyers are locking up their roster. First came the news that they are giving goaltender, Ray Emery, another shot and now they’ve signed defenceman, Chris Pronger, to a seven-year extension worth $35 million.
That means it’s pretty likely that the 34-year-old veteran will play out the rest of his time in the league with the team. The contract includes a no-movement clause.
"I am very excited to be able to retire a Philadelphia Flyer and I am looking forward to many years with the Flyers logo on my chest," Pronger said in a statement.
Pronger joined the team on June 27th after the Anaheim Ducks traded him for Joffrey Lupul and Luca Sbisa as well as a conditional third-round pick in 2010 or 2011.
