Chris Pronger

What he wants to do, what he's willing to do, and how decisive in his contract or no contract statement.

He can be a piece you can build around.

But if you don't have a contract in place, you have to move on.

And he has to have the understanding and the wherewithal to know that.

If you don't have 34 signed, then the rest of it doesn't matter.

Then you have to move on from that.

he's the only guy like that's that's the whole ball game if you don't get him signed then you might as well blow it up because he's leaving anyways and you got to get something for him and you have to force his hand to give you a decision now versus in a year when he's a year from free agency you can just walk you right to the door and now you get nothing well or you get a draft pick because he wants to he wants to get you know to go be able to talk to somebody early

I think you need to be exhaustive on every option.

You have to go to everybody that's got a no move, a no trade or a partial no trade and immediately go back and get their list from, I would hope they got it on July 1st.

And if they didn't, get their list.

And then at July 1, get their new list.

So now you're working off a fresh copy and start making your calls.

Not only to those teams, but to others that may be interested, that maybe you can talk the player into going there.

If you can get the right...

Assets back, it all depends on how deep you want to go with it and how you want to reshape your team and how quickly you can.

There's a lot of tentacles going on here that all go down to one thing.
