The Edmonton Oilers have pulled off the most shocking trade of the deadline, if not of the season, trading Ryan Smyth to the New York Islanders for prospects Robert Nilsson, Ryan O’Marra and the Islanders first round pick

Unable to reach a long-term deal with their heart-and-soul player, the Edmonton Oilers instead traded Ryan Smyth to the New York Islanders for prospects Ryan O'Marra and Robert Nilsson and the Islanders' first-round pick in 2007.

So how are Oil fans feeling about this? If I was you guys, I'd be bummed.

You Oilers fans won't be bummed if he returns to Edmonton after the season since he is an unrestricted FA.

Seeing him crying about it on tv was kind of heartbreaking.

A bit of a side note, but I was just watching ESPNEWS where they were talking about Ryan Smyth (and showing his news conference). Well, in the left hand corner of my TV screen, they had Smyth's picture with his name underneath it. His name was spelled Smith, not Smyth. I chuckled at the misspelling.
