Give Smyth 3rd line minutes and this is a good deal for the oil. He probably could of got 3 from the flames. - hemskyis#1
We are so soft in the top 9.....
Winnik would be a much better fit, plus Smyth seems like a whinny lil biatch |

from the flames he probably could have got a 4 year at 4 per year with a NMC - ALEDDO
I would have let him walk to CGY with a box of kleenex. |

It's my belief that Ales Hemsky is heavily in play today on the trade front. #TSN |

@NHL_Oilers definitely looking to get better through trade as well as FA signings. Gagner and Hemsky in play. |

Yeah EDM definitely still needs more toughness. Tootoo as 4RW or even 3RW for depth and Konopka as 4C, but Belanger has to go then.
I heard it's Methot or Hjalmarsson. - deks1
Yep and Tambo made it clear yesterday the trade market is just a s big this year |

Gotta be Hemsky plus - I just don't see how a team would giving up a top 4 we're looking for him.
Well, perhaps a team that knows it will need to hit the floor but who knows with the new CBA |

Yeah, because Richard was the only person "reporting" it. Are you kidding me?
Oilers employees said it... TSN employees said it... Sportsnet employees said it... But whatever. - laughs2907
reporters have said that someone in the oilers locker room that you'd think would be well-liked was reportedly not as well liked as you'd think. That has nothing to do with greediness in contract negotiations.
Then, there was a report that he turned down an offer that was like what Bertuzzi got, with no mention of what he specifically disliked about it.
Now, he's signed a deal with a cap hit only 175k higher in cap hit than Bertuzzi's. Could it be that contract negotiations are simply difficult?
Give me three reports - from Oilers employees, from TSN employees, from Sportsnet employees - that allege he was greedy, but has now come to his sense. |

I know and for some reason I don't see him as this so called "mentor" - I actually don't think he "gets" the kids nor does he want to. Just a sense really but when hear Stauffer hint at perhaps Smyth isn't as well liked in the room as some think well then maybe there is fire after a little smoke. |

fck I know - and not as much brutes but people that play that style more.
INTIMIDATE for once.
The way we are going it really seems like we are leaning toward a possession skill team. We may not lead in hits but we may make the opposition pay on the score board.
We'll see in the coming years |

All I know is that Stauffer said that Smyth has a very high opinion of himself, and he needs to realize he's no longer a 1st line player... This was mentioned after he initially turned down the Bertuzzi-like contract.
The turning down of the Bertuzzi-like deal was also mentioned by TSN/Sportsnet/etc... Whether it was turned down because of term, $, or both, we'll never know...
Get off Richard's back... Attacking his credibility is soooo 2 weeks ago.

Just awesome to hear that Schultz had EDM in the back of his mind the whole time as the front-runner.
Loves Canadian hot-bed hockey - wants to be a part of it.
Good vibes lads. |

I suppose it's a bit cold to attack him while he's away on his honeymoon.
I just never bought the Smyth is only in it for the money stuff. I do think he's partially in it for the money, and I wouldn't be surprised if that 4.5 million dollar contract has 3+ million in salary this season. The 2.25 cap hit is a decent compromise though imo.
For the record, I do agree with Stauffer that Smyth needs to see top 6 time and PP time as a nice treat from now on, and hopefully Krueger will crack the whip. |

It is kind of neat how things turned out with regards to Schultz/Anaheim/Edmonton. Karma I guess. |

You're right...I'm moving on to Ian Esplen, who claims that 750k and a spot in the press box is a fair deal for Tootoo, who's under 30, a UFA, has never been payed less than 900k in his career, and just had career highs in GP and points |
