Myers has the most upside of the three by far IMO. Smitty might end up the safest bet over the long haul though. EJ is a nightmare to own.
rather have: (long and short term)
EJ
B. Smith
T. Myers
Who has the most upside and the potential of reaching it?
The reason I am asking is because I am about to make an offer for Myers, and I have both Smith and EJ.

EJ for literally anyone is a huge steal for you. I like Smith long-term, Myers might be in tough on a rough Sabres team.

Myers probably has the most upside but of the three, I think Smith will be the one who reaches his full potential.
Myers has done nothing but regress annually since winning the ROY. I watched a few Sabres games last year and he simply looked lost a few times. He struggled with the puck, almost looked afraid. He really needs to be sent to the minors to regain his confidence and his game, but Buffalo won't do that. They are committed to him, come hell or high water. It's too bad.
EJ isn't worth talking about here anymore. I used to be a believer and thought he had what it took to turn it around but I have given up hope on him.
If I had to pick one of these three, I would go with Smith. Until Myers can get his game pieces back together, he is going to struggle and it's simply painful to watch. If you can trade EJ for Myers, I would do that and hope Myers can get his pewp together. EJ is simply not worth owning anymore. Trade him if you have the chance.

The trade ended up being my EJ, Allen and Killorn (plus a 2nd in 2015) for his Myers and Schwartz.
Thoughts?

I like Schwartz a lot more than Killorn.
Seems like giving up Allen will be okay (unless Holtby loses ground this year).
I think you did okay here.

Tyler Myers. I still think he will rebound and have another 40-50 pt year one of these years. Great player
