I completely agree with being in the Hall of Fame as the way your number gets retired. Never letting anyone else use that number again is a big deal. When it comes to K.Lowe, people need to detach any ill will they may have from the current Oilers management and recognize that as a player, he was one of the Oilers true greats. He wouldn't be having his number retired for the last 10 years in management, he'd be retired for what he did as a player. There is a BIG difference.
When it comes to Smyth, I completely agree he should be honored in a ring or wall of honor but not retired. He was a good real player, not a great player. He was a really, really good Oilers, not a great Oiler. The fact that the Oilers weren't a good team in my opinion helped elevate his status. If they were a better team and spent like the top teams back in his time, my guess is he wouldn't have been as big of a star for the Oilers. Just my opinion but when a player like Smyth is looked upon as one of your best players, probably means your team isn't that good which it wasn't.
