According to TSN they said Ryan Smyth could be coming to toronto next year. They said they will have enough salary if they do not sign O'neill and Peca. What do you people think about this. Having Sundin and Smyth on a line would be pretty cool.

I don't like Smyth. I like him when he is in blue and copper best. doesnt seem like he would fit in on the leafs. I don't know why I think that.

Is it just me, or does EVERY Free Agent, every year, ALWAYS have a report somewhere that they're going to Toronto? It was Wade Redden/Zdeno Chara last year...LIndros' name always comes up...whoever the hot free agent is, they always get a rumor they are going to Toronto. It's just wishful thinking for Leafs and their fans

Go Sens

Actually Lindros did end up in Toronto, but hey who doesn’t want great player on there team. So why would JFJ not try to get any player he can. If the other teams aren’t doing it it's there problem.

But I know what you mean man If you would listen to RDS (French sports network you would here that every time a French dude might switch team or just that is contract is ending soon they always say its a done deal but nothing actually happen. so I say it's just the media having fun off there own.
and with the new NHL who knows what comming up

Go leafs Go by the way

As for Smyth seeing him in an Islanders jersey just doesnt look right to me, and I think a Toronto jersey would look even less right, The only jersey I can Picture Smyth in is either the Oilers or Team Canada Jersey.

I have said it before, and I will obviously have to say it again. If Smyth comes back to Edmonton, be prepared to not see a Stanley Cup in the City of Champions until after he retires.

His $5 million plus can and should be spent on a player(s) that can do more to help the team.

Besides that, if they were only about $100k apart at the trade deadline, what is going to be different in the summer?? Actually, Smyth will probably want more.

I know everyone in Edmonton loves him. However, it's not a good hockey move to bring him back and it is highly unlikely that is will happen financially as well.

He can go to TO for all I care.

I'll worry about that, you worry about staying on topic. Deal? (Rhetorical question).

I highly doubt Ryan Smyth will even think about going to Toronto. There's always rumors of people going to Toronto in the off-season, yet it's extremely rare that any of them do. Smyth is more likely to go to a team with lots of cap space and can spare the money, like Phoenix. They have almost $20 million in cap space. If they can sign people, the Coyotes are going to be a team to be reckoned with next year.

I'd love to see him in the blue and white but only if he would take a pay cut to about 3.5-4 million. 5.5 is to high for a player like him though

While we're on the topic of too much money....can you imagine having 8-10 million locked up in Tucker and Smyth? Kinda redundant

Why would anyone want to see him in Team Canada again? They are supposed to be the "cream of the crop", not the worst of the bunch! He is not the type of player that can play a run-and-gun style of offence. He just parks himself infront of the net and tries to get garbage goals. The international ice surface doesn't let that kind of play be an effective style given the size of the ice. We already seen him do nothing there. You need speed and skill, none of which Smyth has.....As for Toronto, it seems he would fit right in with all the other losers that TO keeps signing.

Just a former Leafs fan who expects more from his home team...When they start putting a good product on the ice, I will consider buying their services...

Don't forget about Raycroft, the goalie of the future. JFJ should take a page out of Garth Snow's handbook. Sign him for 15 years!!!

The problem with all of the sports stations, and sports media is that they need to create the news, and if they did not then they would have nothing to report except scores, and the odd Belfour incident. 30 teams have a shot at Smyth in the off season, Edmonton is the least likely candidate.
Edmonton would have to pay more for him this summer than was offered to him at the deadline, no sense in that...

There are: People that make things happen, people that watch things happen, and people that wonder what happened, who are you...
