The Flyers would never elect to take on Pronger's cap hit. They would be forced to do so if Pronger were to retire and the league elects not to change the dumb 35+ rule.
The is whole fiasco has been nothing but bad logic on the part of the league. Why the hell should teams be punished because an older player's career was ended by a freak injury? It's not like Pronger had a reccuring injury that eventually forced him into retirement. His eye was gouged by an errant stick and then he suffered another concussion. Let the man retire and move on without the Flyers being punished. It's really that simple.
After reading EF's first tweet, it sounds like a choice.
''...he will be eligible to stay on LTIR, but sounds like PHI may (per @tpanotchCSN) put him on non-roster IR.''
