This is a team that relies very heavily on Pronger. He played 33 minutes against the habs in the playoffs two years ago a couple of times. Any team who gives this kind of term - especially to a goalie - is in trouble. Has it worked out for anybody? You have to think that over 11 years someone will develop in the system, Look at Van. Look at NYI. Goalies max should be 5 year deals. With skaters there's a little bit of leeway especially for rich teams but even there these massive deals always hurt teams in the end.
But Philly panicked. Snider panicked. I know Briz is good. I know he plays well under Prongers leadership. But he was crap in the playoffs. No one who was that bad albeit over 4 games but 4 very important games should be getting this kind of deal. Briz is a middle of the pack number one, not an elite goalie - 11 Years - MISTAKE!
