Buffalo has JJ Peterka and Bowen Byram, both are absolute fits for Conroy's targeted age range and you have to give to get, and rumours have Buffalo as not wanting deals around futures.

I doubt Bahl, but I do believe this is the case with Zary.
Zary was tracking to be in the same range as Coronato until he got hurt. I think it was Royle who said, Flames had a long-term contract for Zary but back tracked to a bridge after the injury. I can see Zary and his agent thinking that Zary is worth close to Coronato. If that is the case, I could see Zary being traded.
Buffalo values players like Zary. I think he would sign there too as young players want to play over playing somewhere nice or even on a deep winning teams. Playing and earning your money always comes first.
Buffalo could add Zary in a Peterka deal and maybe the Flames have to add a fair amount and maybe Buffalo does well in the deal
I also see Buffalo as good trade partners with the Flames as we don't want to trade picks, and they don't want picks and we have lots of quality player who do not have a NTC.
