slugspirit Posted February 27, 2007 Report Share Posted February 27, 2007 Some big time movement would have to be made, but can you imagine Ryan Smyth wearing the swords?? Where'd you hear this? Last I heard, Smyth was close to re-signing with the Oilers. Although, I do think he would be the best fit at forward among all those being rumored.

LoveAndWarrener Posted February 27, 2007 Report Share Posted February 27, 2007 Some big time movement would have to be made, but can you imagine Ryan Smyth wearing the swords?? I'd love it. He's my favorite non-Sabre in the NHL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
apuszczalowski Posted February 27, 2007 Report Share Posted February 27, 2007 It would be nice, but I think it would take alot to get him (unless he is unwilling to re-sign with them now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

inkman Posted February 27, 2007 Report Share Posted February 27, 2007 3.5 million for Smyth. Sabres would have to send someone like Afinogenov (Kotalik wouldn't be enough). :rolleyes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

inkman Posted February 27, 2007 Report Share Posted February 27, 2007 Unless they're shelving Connolly. Still have to give up a #%^$#! load. Draft picks and prospects wouldn't be enough. How would everybody feel about losing Max, Stafford and a #1 draft pick because that is what it would take. Jason Smiths 1.976 million would fit nicely. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How would everybody feel about losing Max, Stafford and a #1 draft pick because that is what it would take. Not necessarily. The team with a player whose contract is up is dealing from a position of weakness. The Oilers, if they are dead-certain they can't re-sign him, are the team in the weak position. What they can do is hope that teams try to outbid each other to obtain him. I'd hate to lose Stafford but if he and Kalinin or Kotalik was what it took to seal the deal, I just might do it.

Goodfella25 Posted February 27, 2007 Report Share Posted February 27, 2007 Would be great, but I wouldn't mind Jason SMITH either. Exactly what we need on the blue line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They prefer cheaper veterans to fill space. I'd kill for Jason Smith. Nasty bastard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RayFinkle Posted February 27, 2007 Report Share Posted February 27, 2007 I heard that the Oilers are talking with a team, but nobody that I can find reported it as being the Sabres. I guess we'll see... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lots of them. They prefer cheaper veterans to fill space. Salary wise we would need to give up someone unless they don't plan on Connolly coming back, which they should have done eons ago. I could part with two # 1 picks and Stafford. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bmwolf21 Posted February 27, 2007 Report Share Posted February 27, 2007 Add me to the list of guys who would take Jason Smith in a heartbeat, and I wouldn't be too upset with adding Ryan Smith, either. But I'd have to be absolutely blown away with an offer to consider giving away Stafford. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Braedon Posted February 27, 2007 Report Share Posted February 27, 2007 Smyth to me would mean that either Briere or Drury are gone after this year. One of them is gone anyway, regardless of who comes in. I've heard Lupul's name thrown around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
