Chris Pronger is exact type of guy the league should want in the department of player safety; he's not far removed from a Hall of Fame-caliber career, and he knows the mindset of physical, sometimes-suspension-worthy players.The NHL, indeed, is looking to bringPronger into that Tony Wolters Jersey role, per Yahoo's Nick Cotsonika and TSN's Bob McKenzie.MORE: :The All-Star defenseman and Stanley Cup champion has interviewed for a job in the DPS and is at the top of (Stephane Quintals) list to replace the departed Brian Leetch. He would be part of the team that analyzes plays, participates in hearings and gives input to Quintal, who makes the final decisions.Again great. As Cotsonika wrote, Pronger also knows the havoc head injuries can wreak. His career ended because of a stick to the face. He'd be perfect.The problem, though, is Antonio Senzatela Jersey that the Philadelphia Flyers . They've used Pronger's long-term injury exception to stay under the salary cap since 2012. He, in turn, has continued to collect his salary, . It's a mutually beneficial situation the player gets paid and the deep-pocketed team receives a get-out-of-cap-jail-free card.So, even though Pronger wouldn't be involved with Flyers-related decisions, there's a very obvious conflict of interest. It's not just about perception, either. It was bad enough when fans whined about Brendan Shanahan making calls on Rangers or Red Wings players. Imagine if he started every preseason on the Devils' roster. Imagine if they were still paying him. People would, rightfully, lose their minds over it.It'd be unfair to the Flyers to do anything about this right now. Colorado Rockies Jersey They're working within a collectively-bargained system and following the rules they were given;if Pronger, say, retired tomorrow, their cap situation would be nuked. They'd flat-out have to trade good Adam Ottavino Jersey players. But there are two seasons left on Pronger's deal after this one, and both sides should figure out a way to kill the not-theoretical conflict of interest before this time next year.In the meantime, removing Pronger from decisions involving Philadelphia is a decent lifeboat. What it doesn't account for is the prospect of Pronger offering input on a situation involving a Flyers rival the morning his direct deposit comes through. That would look very, very bad.It's alsothe route the NHL appears to have chosen, though McKenzie reports that the NHLPA is involved in the proce s. That's Chad Bettis Jersey a good sign.This is the same league, remember, that had a discipline czar about calls against his son in 2007. So it could be worse but it could be better, too, and that's what the DOPS should focus on over the next year. Fans are paranoid, as is; why give them a legitimate reason?
