Pronger could have been a Leaf too. Probably only for a few years though.
JFJ declined an offer of Kaberle, Steen and a 1st at the 2006 draft.
I thought it was just Steen and Kaberle, which JFJ declined because of Steen.
Either way, if JFJ pulls the trigger on that deal (and if Pronger agrees to play in Toronto), I think the entire makeup of the organization changes. I don't remember exactly when Quinn, Belfour et al were given the boot, but I think bringing in Pronger beforehand may have bought them a bit more time to see how the Leafs could perform.
It would have transformed the team a fair bit, I think. Trading Kaberle, who was great in one end of the ice, for a guy who was great all over the ice would have been interesting to watch.
