Former Edmonton Oilers general manager Kevin Lowe has publicly reacted to Chris Pronger's recent revelations regarding his time with the team. In his new book and interviews, Pronger admitted to signing a five-year contract extension in 2005 while heavily intoxicated, leading to feelings of being trapped. Lowe, who managed the Oilers during this period, expressed disappointment with Pronger's version of events and lamented the loss of such a talented defenseman. He stated on LinkedIn that he wished he had handled the situation differently, suggesting he should have let Pronger sit out instead of accommodating his trade request to the Anaheim Ducks in July 2006. Despite the controversy, Pronger was instrumental in the Oilers' run to the 2006 Stanley Cup Final. Additionally, Pronger recently endorsed Buffalo Sabres captain Rasmus Dahlin for the Norris Trophy, highlighting Dahlin's competitive spirit and offensive skills.
