Apparently his wife is unhappy living in Edmonton, and would like to return to living in the US. Management knew of the possibility of the request months ago, as Pronger had informed them at that time that his family wasn't adjustng well. So while they were still upset about Pronger's decision, it didn't come out of left field, like the media had originally portrayed it.
While I can't stand Pronger, and think he is highly overated, I really can't blame him for making the request. He personally would like to stay, and had every intention of doing so when he signed the long term deal, but you just can't go home every night to a miserable family and stay focused on the season at hand. His loyalties are where they should be, with his family.
