The Flyers acquired defenseman Chris Pronger tonight from the Anaheim Ducks in exchange for Joffrey Lupul, Luca Sbisa and two first-round draft choices.
Pronger, 34, is 6-6, 221-pounder who has been in the NHL since 1993, when he was the second overall pick of the draft by the Hartford Whalers.
Pronger was the league MVP in the 1999-2000 season with the St. Louis Blues. In 2007, he won a Stanley Cup as a member of the Anaheim Ducks.
The draft picks are this year's top pick and the Flyers' first-round pick in 2010. The Flyers also dealt a conditional third-round pick.
The Flyers also acquired 24-year-old center Ryan Dingle from the Ducks.*
