I love Smid too... But at 5 or 6 million per, he can go play somewhere else.

Would you give him Garrison/Hamhuis/Bieksa money (4.6)?

That's knid of what I would offer him, maybe 5.

I was hoping for a 4 or 5 year extension at 4 per, but maybe I'm undervaluing him? I love Smid, I think he's a high end defensive d-man, I just have a hard time thinking he'd get more than 4.5 a year.

Yah it's kind of funny. Any fan you talk to likely wouldn't go over 4.5 by much for Smid. Yet, if he was on the market, I can garantee an owner would toss stupid 5-6 million per money at him and then wonder why they aren't making money.

this year was really the litmus test imo. last year was only his first truly standout season. he showed flashes previously, but had some major growing pains over the years.

if he had another strong campaign, id absolutely give him 4.5 long term.
5-6 is a stretch though

This is exactly why I have a hard time finding even an ounce of sympathy for the owners.

No way would Smid get that. Right now he's in the 3 range. Also Hamhuis is worth 6 but signed for less.

Give Smid 21.3751183329922 million for 5 years. He likes Edmonton, so he'll be willing to live below the poverty line to stay here. At 4.275 million per year, he'll need to get a roommate, and he'll need to eat No-name food products, but I think he'll be willing to do it.

How about Teemu Selanne? It would be shame to end his great career this way.

There are some things in this world that are worth the extra money. Food? Meh, it's all the same... Fleshlights? Never. If it's not a Reveen and Laugh's Fleshlight, it's not worth your time.

No one will take him with a 58 m cap hit on the way. Besides the world is ending Friday

Of course teams will take him... Just not at 5-6 million.

Raymond is one of the few Canucks I like. The other aspects of his game won't be enough for decent money?

Some guy named Scooby's been pissing all the Leafs fans off lately.

He's alright. Doesn't have your showmanship, though.

Yeah that Scooby is a J Bold-prock-Iggysbff all over again. Seems like a pus$ as well. He probably won't show his face around these parts now that the sheriff(D Shiddy) is back.
