A Hockey Decision

from Terry Jones at the Edmonton Sun,
When it came to Smyth, Edmonton fans didn’t care about the dollars. He’d signed his previous two deals with hometown discounts. If it was $5.5 million per year, which seems to be the number it would have cost per year over five years to keep him here, fine.
To the fans, Ryan Smyth was not about dollars, he was about love and location.
To Kevin Lowe, he was about “a hockey decision.”
There will be a public outcry about this one. And you can’t blame fans for feeling that way.
Lowe and Oilers ownership and management made it quite clear they expect negative initial reaction from the fans.
