I mean I know that Ryan Smyth was over rated. At time Oiler fans had him in the same stratosphere as Iginla. And they over relied way too much on the whole Captain Canada thing for a guy that took part in pretty much what is looked at as the international version of the Millhouse Cup. But at the end of the day Ryan clearly loved Edmonton and was emotionally attached to it, and it crushed him to be moved out over what was basically chump change by the idiots running the Oilers at the time.

But those two came across as small and a bit idiotic to me.
I think that's a story you tell at a bar with your buddies, not on television. Agreed it's pretty petty.
