Smyth Sounds Off… Gets Traded
What a Day!
The Oilers honestly look like they were going to stand pat on this one. But the fact that the Ryan Smyth deal publicly fell through on the Flames when the trade was nixed by 94 who was reported to have requested passage back to Edmonton, well that sweetened the pot, didn’t it?
I said it back on the 23rd
“Chris Pronger and Michael Peca were both in, and they did play integral roles in that run, you can check out the rest of the videos on that NsOilFan pack to see more of what they and the other cogs in that machine contributed. It wouldn’t have been hard to pitch. “We have good young players, we add you guys and then a few more pieces at the deadline and we will surprise everybody”. Pronger knows NHL talent, Peca knows NHL talent… why? Because they are NHL talent (most scouts are former players) I don’t need to illustrate this to you.
Do you think that Pronger thought that his wife would like to live in the frozen tundra of Edmonton? Do you think that Michael Peca’s long commute had anything to do with you butt-holes who verbally rape this current roster? I’m sorry, but the lack of faith in this organization is starting to drive me nuts.
This team is going places, folks, and within two years? That’s a guarantee…“
This is but a cataylst, and exactly what I have been thinking the Oilers were gunning for. Smyth will come in cheap, and the Oilers can begin to take the other pieces they want to at any time here.
