After getting Ryan Smyth, mostly everyone, including myself, thought they would be a sleeper team.
Plus, they might have just lost 3 prospects for nothing.

I know what you're thinking. We're in the middle of a city, what's a hawk doing there?

Well, no i didn't like the fact that they couldn't keep him. But if they were going to trade him that was the type of deal you make. You hafta keep in mind Smyth despite all his qualities is still just a rent-a-player. You aren't gonna get the top notch prospect for him. But they got 2 pretty damn good ones as well as a 1st so i think they made off pretty well

Exactly, and there is always the chance he can still wind up in Edmonton again next season.

I don't think so, for me he saw the team had an opportunity to make it and he went for it. If Dipietro doesn't get hurt, they probably do make it
