The Flyers have never been afraid of making bold moves over the course of their history, and one of the boldest was the Chris Pronger trade on this day back in 2009.
Then-GM Paul Holmgren sent Joffrey Lupul, Luca Sbisa, two first-round draft picks (2009 and 2010), and a conditional third-round pick to the Ducks for Pronger. The deal aimed to solidify the Flyers’ blue line with the dominant Pronger, who served as perhaps the best true talent defender the Flyers have ever seen wear the Orange and Black.
