With Pronger, so much is riding on the player's healthy return from back surgery and his ability to stay healthy and productive. There is also a good chance that the 36-year-old will be named captain

The Flyers have always done an outstanding job at honoring the people who helped to shape their history, especially the top players from the Broad Street Bullies and Keenan era clubs.
