08:28 AM ET 02.03 | Ryan Smyth, the veteran playing in a kid's world in Edmonton, may have a suitor on the other coast. If general manager Glen Sather is interested in reuniting with [Smyth] by acquiring Edmonton's veteran left wing to bolster the Rangers' attack, the feeling may well be a reciprocal one, The Post has learned. A well-placed source told The Post that Smyth, who was drafted sixth overall in 1994 by Sather and then played the first five years under his direction while he was general manager of the Oilers, would give serious consideration to waiving his no-move clause in order to pursue a Cup on Broadway. ... [The Rangers] are seeking to add both scoring punch and a defenseman.

that picture is Torts trying to lure unsuspecting people into his devious plan to win the Cup

correct me if I'm wrong, but I thought the whole point of Smyth going back to the Oil was to lead the kids, and to finish his career there....

Puh-lease, Smyth will start crying the moment he lands in LGA.

I beieve you are correct. I again go back to that foolish notion that your career doesn't matter unless you win a Cup? And as i recall, his last stint on this coast didn't go quite as expected, and he couldn't get out of NY fast enough

It would confirm that Sather's lost a step too.

NY POST=Pointless article?
Imagine my surprise

Yes, its February, that means Larry Brooks will write an article where every player either is going or wants to go to the Rangers.

Better similar players on the market if you're serious about a Cup.

February 3, 2012  10:37 AM ET

He likes living in Edmonton. He wanted to be back there. The Post is full of poop...

February 3, 2012  10:47 AM ET

I'm not too familiar with Smyth's career, but what has he done to be a desired player?
