RYAN SMYTH RUMORS & GOSSIP

Smyth Contract Holdups

No, you have not stepped back in time, but it has been reported that the Oilers and Ryan Smyth aren’t much closer to a deal new deal than they were last summer. According to Jim Matheson of the Edmonton Journal: The holdout here is not term. It is the money. Nobody is saying what the Oilers are offering, but I wouldn’t be surprised if it was in the $2.5 million-$2.75...

Richard Cloutier: Oilers Offer Smyth a Two-Year Deal

This is as per Jason Gregor from Team 1260. The Oilers have offered Ryan Smyth a two-year contract extension. From what Gregor says, it's a deal that is comparable to the size of contract Todd Bertuzzi has with the Red Wings ($2mil per season range). In some ways it makes sense. Smyth did put up reasonable numbers last season (19g 46pts) and played really well for the first...

Making Sense Of The Ryan Smyth Trade Rumor

Larry Brooks reported yesterday that the Rangers are supposedly interested in Edmonton’s Ryan Smyth. According to Brooks, Smyth is willing to waive his no-movement clause to come to New York. While Smyth would probably fit the Rangers style of play, one has to wonder the legitimacy of this rumor. This past summer Smyth requested that the Los Angeles Kings (a team on the rise)...

Report- Rangers, Ryan Smyth Have Mutual Interest

from Larry Brooks of the NY Post, If Rangers general manager Glen Sather is interested in reuniting with Ryan Smyth by acquiring Edmonton’s veteran left wing to bolster the attack, the feeling may well be a reciprocal one, The Post has learned.

All Admiration, All of the Time For Smyth

If you were to ask most Oiler fans who their favourite Oiler is, you will likely hear the name Ryan Smyth. If you also ask who they think the team MVP is the answer would likely be the same; Ryan Smyth. In Edmonton people love Ryan Smyth the way Canucks fans love Trevor Linden and Leafs’ fans love Wendel Clark. Although Ryan Smyth has only been invited to one NHL All Stars...

Matthew Barry: Ryan Smyth is a Fraud

Please Note: If you’re gonna attack me, hate me, call me a feminine hygiyne product, please do it knowing that young adults read these boards. I ask you to be “creative” with your insulting barbs.
