from Mark Whicker of the Orange County Register,
One of them is not Chris Pronger. Yes, he was the last stroke of the hammer that knocked down the barrier to a Stanley Cup in 2007. And, no, the Ducks have not yet really replaced him, as if any team could.
But Pronger was only a Duck for three seasons. St.Louis has the roof that should be raised for him.
Here's how the Ducks should go about it.
•(Scott) Niedermayer: Sure, Niedermayer was a Duck for only five seasons. But the Ducks won seven playoff series in those five years and he was a first team All-Star in two of them. He also was a Duck when he helped Canada win the Olympic gold medal. More than anything Niedermayer lent the franchise some of his surplus credibility. The Ducks became relevant the moment he signed.
