Agreed it could be more than 5, but I think 10 seasons is asking a lot. Sure there are exceptions but with the speed required to stick in today's NHL it's not an easy task.
And I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but even though Pronger is still getting paid (I think), he hasn't played since he was 36. With the type of game he played you can't blame him though.
