He's also paid by the Flyers being on the LTIR, but the Flyers get no cap relief for him or salary relief. They didn't shed his salary or contract in any way with him taking this job. So no circumvention.

Pronger, who has three seasons remaining on his contract with the Flyers that carries an annual cap hit around $4.9 million US, has not played since the 2011-12 season and has been on long term injury reserve (LTIR) since.

Reports indicate that Pronger has not retired and will continue to receive pay from the Flyers, but also that the team will not be be hit with a salary cap penalty.
