Pronger hasn’t played since 2011 as a result of post-concussion symptoms and an eye injury. The former Flyers captain has yet to officially retire, in part because if he did he would forfeit $7 million in salary in 2013-14 and $4 million next year. The Flyers signed Pronger to a seven-year, $34.55 million contract in 2009.
