what is the career of joffrey lupul and explain his playing career?”
The Flyers tonight acquired Chris Pronger, a veteran Anaheim defenseman they hope will be the missing piece to their 35-year Stanley Cup quest. Pronger, 34, gives the Flyers a much-needed physical presence in front of the net. Flyers general manager Paul Holmgren called the 6-foot-6, 220-pound Pronger “a guy who makes life miserable for the other team.” The Flyers sent right winger Joffrey Lupul, defenseman Luca Sbisa, tonight’s No. 1 draft pick (21st overall) and next year’s No. 1 selection to the Ducks for Pronger and AHL forward Ryan Dingle. The Ducks also received a conditional third-round pick in 2010 or 2011. It was a steep price for a player who has just one year remaining on his $6.25 million contract, but the Flyers hope it will put them on the same level with their most bitter rivals, the Stanley Cup champion Pittsburgh Penguins.
