I agree FF. For whatever reason, I guess because of their emotional attachment to Smyth, Oiler fans dont' see it that way. If Smyth loves Edmonton and this team, as much as he says he does, then he should have taken the home town discount. Plus, by taking a little less, he allows the team more resources and more room under the cap to improve it.
Also, 5.2 million in Edmonton would go a lot further than 5.7 (or whatever) in New York...or Anaheim...or pretty much anywhere...
