Kp-Wings 3 Report post Posted March 4, 2007 http://www.detnews.com/apps/pbcs.dll/artic...0407/1128/rss16 Anyone see this? Just thought it might be interesting to post. It's been quite a transistion for him, but I think he's getting over leaving Edmonton. It just also occured to me: If Smyth does good with the Isles, I wonder if they'll throw him an offer "he can't refuse" like with DiPietro. You never know what could happen with them.

HockeyCrazy3033 168 Report post Posted March 4, 2007 Good for him! He seriously made me VERY teary eyed when I watched his PC about leaving the Oilers. Great to see him happy. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Palemoonlight 0 Report post Posted March 4, 2007 Considering what they gave up to get him, I think they'll do whatever it takes to keep him (6mil for 5 years?). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mighty Wings 0 Report post Posted March 4, 2007 Good to hear. I hate bringing up the "A" word, but it seems like they're still having trouble drawing more than 13,000 fans. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kp-Wings 3 Report post Posted March 4, 2007 Good to hear. I hate bringing up the "A" word, but it seems like they're still having trouble drawing more than 13,000 fans. Really? I can't believe that. They were a bad team last year, but people still went. That DiPietro fiasco must have really angered the fans. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wings_Rule_1010 4 Report post Posted March 5, 2007 Did anyone watch hockey night in canada yesterday, when they had Edmonton's general manager on after hours to talk to him about trading Ryan Smyth. He was seriously almost in tears. I felt semi-bad for the guy. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But it was a move that Lowe had to make, though in my opinion the oilers didn't just near what they should of for Smyth Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I believe he said that he actually feared for his life, because people were so pissed with the move. I get what he was saying, but yeah, I don't do quite enough.

GoalieManPat 1,007 Report post Posted March 5, 2007 Wasnt it on the pregame (or was it the first intermission report) where the studio crew was talking about the deal. If its true that the team offered 5.4 million a year yet he wouldnt budge on 5.5 million then its bulls***. Dont go on TV and start crying that you got traded and saying your heart is in Edmonton. I guess 5.4 million a year isn't enough to live on anymore. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
