What If’s in Anaheim
The signing of Chris Pronger by Anaheim has the potential to be very good (results in a Cup win or Finals appearance for Anaheim) or very bad. By very bad, I mean mediocre. What happens if one of Anaheim’s star defensemen gets injured? What happens if mediocrity reigns in Anaheim and fans yearn for the scoring Lupul provided? Don’t get me wrong, my concerns about the Pronger trade could easily be proven illegitimate and ludicrous. I just wonder about placing Pronger’s strong personality on a team already led by Scott Niedermayer. Ideally the personalities complement each other and grow the team into a cohesive unit—ideally. What happens if expectations go unfulfilled on the ice? What results could unfulfilled expectations on the ice have off the ice?
