LOS ANGELES, Calif. - NHL Commissioner Gary Bettman would have no problem with Chris Pronger working in the leagues department of player safety even while the former defenceman is still on the Philadelphia Flyers payroll.Bettman addressed the potential conflict Wednesday night while in Los Angeles to attend the champion Kings Stanley Cup banner-raising ceremony.Yahoo Sports reported Pronger recently interviewed with Stephane Quintal, the NHLs senior vice-president of player safety, for a job in the leagues disciplinary wing.Yet Pronger hasnt technically retired. The former NHL MVP is still being paid by the Flyers through 2017, even though he hasnt played in the league since 2011 due to concussions and an eye injury.Bettman wouldnt confirm Pronger is a candidate for a job in the player safety department, noting several candidates are interviewing for the job to replace Brian Leetch.Chris case is unique, Bettman said. There are salary cap reasons why he couldnt officially retire, but ... if in fact we go that route, Im not sure that presents any problem at all to deal with. Hes done playing. He gets paid no matter what from the Flyers. He doesnt owe them anything.Quintals department is responsible for doling out suspensions, fines and other discipline for on-ice transgressions, traditionally one of the NHLs most contentious areas. Pronger ran afoul of the office many times during his bruising career, incurring numerous suspensions for vicious hits and questionable on-ice behaviour.Pronger has an annual cap hit around $4.9 million for the Flyers, who signed him to a seven-year contract extension in 2009 after acquiring him in a trade with Anaheim.Pronger played in just 145 regular-season games for Philadelphia, but the Flyers would incur serious salary-cap consequences if he retired, likely forcing the club to trade players to get under the limit.With relatively little controversy in NHL circles heading into the new season, Bettman relished the opportunity to enjoy the pregame banner ceremony and a rivalry game at Staples Center between Los Angeles and San Jose.He also expressed admiration at the NBAs enormous television rights deals with ESPN and TNT. The new arrangement will increase the leagues annual TV revenue from $930 million to more than $2.6 billion.The NHL reached a 12-year, $4.9 billion Canadian rights deal last November, and the league reportedly makes about $200 million annually on its U.S. deal with NBC Sports through 2021.At the time, people were hailing it as a terrific deal, Bettman said. We more than doubled our rights, and based on whats happening to the marketplace, the next time we go into the marketplace, Im sure well do quite well. ... Ive always said to the owners, If we get to the end of our deal and were being underpaid, thats a really good thing.Bettman doesnt regret inking a long-term deal with NBC, and he doesnt worry that the U.S. sports rights market will deflate in the next seven seasons.People have been saying theres a sports bubble for the last 40 years, Bettman said. Braves Ender Inciarte Jersey . The 10-year deal the league and players agreed to that ended the 2011 lockout gave either side the right to opt out after six years. With the league projecting financial growth, there has been speculation that players will take that option in three years, especially since a new national TV contract will be in place by then.
