I'd say 4 million


Leafs 4 Playoffs!!

I wouldn't pay Smyth anything over 4million. I don't think that he has enough "impact" in terms of being able to turn a game around by scoring or producing points in a key situation. With that said, I am not taking anything away from him, cause I do like him, but he is just more of a "team geling" player. He plays with A LOT of heart.
Beans15 Posted - 04/04/2007 : 15:16:13
Mik, it takes more than points to be considered a better player. Do not even attempt to say that Afinegenov can hold a candle to Smyth defensively, on the the PK, or as a gritty hard nosed digger. And read the post again. I gave him props as close. I love Afineganov.
Mikhailova Posted - 04/04/2007 : 14:01:43
How is Smyth better than Afinogenov?? Smyth has 66 points in 68 games. Max has 57 and hasn't played since February. He has nearly as many points in a lot fewer games. On that pace he would've passed Smyth by a lot by now had he been healthy.
Beans15 Posted - 04/04/2007 : 12:13:08
Here is the list of $3-3.5 million/year players. I would put Smyth at the top of this list easily. Afinogenov and Drury are the only players on this list that come close to Smyth, and I don't think either are better players.

PS-These are numbers for this years salaries. Doan, for example, will make $4.6 million next year. Still, Smyth is a better player in my opinion. Doan is one of those guys who will be overpaid next year.

I would pay smyth about $4 million to play for me.
But as for Kubina, he's been living up to that big salary lately, if anyone's been watching the leafs' games..

If I was JFJ, i'd probably have to pay him 100 million a season. Cause I'd think that Kubina is worth 5 million a season



You enjoy being JFJ , dont you? Its pretty funny.

butch33 Posted - 04/04/2007 : 10:04:06
alot of gm's would probably feel comfortable giving him 4.5 per season , but the bidding for him will get ridiculous , so dont be surprised to see him making 5.75 which is probably 1.25 mil too much

hopefully the islanders dont get sucked in too badly by Meehan if they decide to write a blank check

This is helpful, but like babs said, it shows how muck they get overpaid.
bablaboushka Posted - 03/26/2007 : 19:57:54
90% of those players not in bold are HIGHLY overpaid. He simply does not deserve that kind of money and using the equity factor here seems ridiculous.

Beans, how about a list of $3 million < Players < $3.5 million?
Ddeathblade Posted - 03/26/2007 : 16:12:22
I'd pay him from 4 - 4.5 million. I know that he's the heart and soul, but there's no way he's worth as much as 5.5 mil, to even 6 million. I highly doubt there's a team that will sign him for that much in the off-season, even Edmonton. However, i hope that we get Ryan Smyth back

Honestly, I would give him around 3.3 million. I never thought he was all that great. I know you all think i'm crazy but I just think that he wasn't as good as people thought he was. He may have a lot of points and has a good attitude, but I think that he isn't a great all around player.

That's just my opinion.

Saku Steen Posted - 03/26/2007 : 03:49:51
I would pay Ryan Smyth up to 3.5 million. He is not worth a lot of money and I would rather other players then him; so I probably wouldnt try to sign him.
Canucks Man Posted - 03/25/2007 : 21:58:34
3.5 tops sure he was there heart but you could have sticked anyone in front of the net to bang in rebonds, it just happend to be smyth

CANUCKS RULE!!!

He's good but is not worth anything close to franchise money.



Not franchise money? Have you seen what happened to the Oilers since he left?


Have you seen what's happened to them since 11 regulars got injured? Smyh was not the difference, give me a break and I'm sick of people saying that. If the Oilers really relied on a guy like Smyth then that says what kind of a team they really were.
PainTrain Posted - 03/25/2007 : 20:49:24
3.5 dont get me wrong he is good but not great and yeah the impact he has made on the oilers is big but the amount of injuries they have.
