Buffalo is looking to shake things up and I believe Smith wants playoffs this year. What I am offering is a trade for Byran. The two key players I am offering are having an off year but would be a strong fit in Buffalo.

Byran for Crouse, Maccelli and Cole. Utah gets the best player but Buffalo gets a young power forward that play strong defence and normally good for 15 to 20 goals, Maccelli who is also young and has a high offensive ceiling and Cole who can help fill the void of Byran. This should help Buffalo and help speed up Utah development. Utah could add picks but I dont see Buffalo wanting that. You could change Cole with Skahan but once again Buffalo wants to win now.

Jesus dude, is Byram a #1D or something? Crouse and Macelli have had their warts this year but Macelli is a 60pt RFA player and Crouse is a young top 6 captain material forward who outside of 30 games has looked stellar pretty much his entire career.

Byram is the opposite, he's looked stellar for a handful of games but can't find consistency and is mostly riding off draft pedigree still.

And Cole is like...whatever but he's better defensively than Byram and a lot cheaper. I don't even think this probably works for Buffalo because of cap but the value is staggeringly bad for Utah.

Skahan is a beast of a young prospect but thought you guys might be in the win now mode.


Now sure why posters are Bringing oilers into a Buffalo and Utah thread.


Skahan is a Utah pick in UNI with Boston and that is a pretty deep team. He might not get as much ice time as he needs to develop properly. HE is a monster at 6-4 but 6-4 D men are hit and miss with no middle ground

Wingers and an old defenseman who has little value is not something I would want to trade our 1RD for this. Byram was our best defenseman after Dahlin, more consistent than the others. I like Crouse and Maccelli, but we are weakening our defense a lot with such a deal. If we trade Byram, some top 6 C and top 4 RD figures should return, it could be Byram+.
