Thats a huge ticket to spill for an analyst isnt it. I wonder if gretz was mulling it over and then the way that the coilers rolled over sealed it for him

I'm actually really excited to see what TNT does for their coverage, Shaq and Barkley is probably the best commentator pair going (and I hate basketball), but who's going to be Gretzky's foil? He can't carry a panel by himself.

Imagine if they dragged out someone like Darcy Rota? Bieksa would be a great counterpart to Gretzky, he needs someone with more personality.

Actually what is Pronger up to? He's surprisingly hilarious and couldn't be more different from Gretzky...

I would love to see Pronger, JR, and Bieksa be on that panel.. or better yet, a podcast.
The stories those boys would have!

John Shannon @JShannonhl
Nazem Kadri will have his appeal of the 8 game suspension heard by Gary Bettman tomorrow.

Kadri has 1 more appeal left if he doesn't like what Bettman decides.

Frankly, I'd a non-knowledgeable media personality over an ex-player with no personality whatsoever.

So I did some research to answer my own question, Pronger is a "senior adviser" to the Panthers. Perhaps once they're eliminated as well, we'll see a similar announcement?

And if not, I'm sure Rota is free :lol:
