I can't see a team paying any player on LTIR and semi-retired the amount of 19.5m over the next 4 years so they can get to a salary floor....when they can use that on an active player, who could contribute on the ice.

If Pronger retires from his injury, the team doesn't pay the salary. The contract is insured, and the insurance company pays his salary, while the team carries the dead space

If Pronger retires due to his injury, if he has insurance it will pay him. If he doesn't he won't be paid. If he retires, the team and its insurer are not required to pay a player who has retired. And if he retires the team is stuck with his full cap hit with no relief.

If he does not retire and is on LTIR, the team's insurance pays his salary and there are concessions that allow the team to, in effect, use the cap space to replace him.

My understanding is, if he retires due to hockey related injury, he will be paid by the insurer of the contract.

Either way, if he's traded to a team simply for cap floor reasons, the new team isn't paying his salary, unless he's actively playing, which was my point.

Can Pronger with his injury be traded?

As long as there is full disclosure by the Flyers and acceptance of his condition by the new team, then yes. Injured players have been traded before, and under the current CBA.
