Funny fact, that 2nd round pick in the Pronger trade was later traded by the oilers (for a player and a pick you never heard of) to NYI and was used to pick Hamonic.  |
Yeah Pronger was an absolute game changer, carrying that Oilers team on his back. You give up anything for that kind of superstar.
