I'm all for Pronger. But at a price. Doesn't work it doesn't work.

I wouldn't give up Perron and then pay him a mountain of money on top of that....he makes what...7 mil? And that's his old contract! We give up Perron and sign him now on this trade thing and he is an unrestricted free agent in ONE friggen year....he will then want the big bonzo contract to ride off into the sunset and we are then strapped with a guy who is on the down side and further could easily be hurt half the time. No thanks. That's the old Blues. Hell if anything wait a year and get him for the same cash he will want after we give up a good player!
And then there's Perron.....yeah he could be stronger but I know he ain't no Demitra!!! 50 pts his rookie year....let him simmer and see where he is in year 3.......all for a bargain price.
I couldn't agree more on the need for defense and the skill to move the puck and shoot the puck...but 35 is too old to mortgage the farm.
