The Buffalo Bandits, Calgary Roughnecks and Philadelphia Wings today completed a three-way blockbuster trade involving defensemen Taylor Wray, Ian Llord, and Kyle Couling; goaltender Steve Dietrich; and forwards Sean Greenhalgh and Jason Crosbie.

The six players involved in the deal have combined for one league MVP award, one Defensive Player of the Year award, two Goaltender of the Year awards, one Rookie of the Year award, a Sportsmanship Award, two All-Rookie Team honors and five All-Pro honors.

Calgary traded Wray to Philadelphia and their first round selection in the 2007 entry draft and their second round selection in the 2008 entry draft to Buffalo.

The Bandits traded Dietrich and Couling to Calgary and forward Crosbie and other conditional considerations to Philadelphia.

The Wings sent Greenhalgh to Buffalo and Llord to Calgary.

"It was never my intention to trade Taylor Wray," Roughnecks general manager Kurt Silcott said. "But Taylor came to me and told me he would not be available to play in Calgary next season as he was taking a job in Philadelphia as a college assistant coach. Therefore our hands were tied."

"Obviously, we will miss Taylor’s leadership and ability," Silcott added, "but on the upside we were able to get some great players in return."

Dietrich, who will join the Roughnecks, is the most decorated amongst the players involved in the deal. Dietrich, who played the last six seasons of his 15 year career with the Bandits, was the 2006 NLL MVP, a four time All-Pro and a two time Goaltender of the Year award recipient.

Dietrich won a championship in 1997 with the Rochester Knighthawks and was the Championship Game MVP that season. Dietrich however only played 431 minutes in 2007 while recovering from a knee injury. He played over 800 minutes in his 2006 MVP season.

"With Steve 'Chugger' Dietrich, we are getting an outstanding and proven goalie who lives and breathes the game of lacrosse," Roughnecks head coach (and former Bandits assistant) Troy Cordingley said.

"[Dietrich] is a goalie that makes the big saves when you need them and he has been a huge reason why the Buffalo Bandits have always been a cup contender."

Wray was the 2004 NLL Rookie of the Year, a co-winner of the 2004 Defensive Player of the Year award and earned First Team All-Pro honors that season. He has played 55 games in four seasons with the Roughnecks and won a championship in 2004.

"Taylor is a franchise-type player, which is evident from his actions and awards that he's won," Wings general manager Lindsay Sanderson said. "We were very high on both Sean and Ian, but feel that Taylor is just a better fit with our current needs."

Greenhalgh heads to Buffalo after leading Philadelphia in scoring in each of his first two NLL seasons. Greenhalgh was the recipient of the league's Sportsmanship Award in 2006 and was a member of 2006 NLL All-Rookie Team.

Crosbie heads to Philadelphia after playing five of his seven NLL seasons with the Bandits. Crosbie has 113 goals in 96 career games.

Couling has played his entire career with the Buffalo Bandits, which includes eight seasons and 113 regular season games. The veteran heads to Calgary after collecting 77 loose balls last season. Couling has 515 career loose balls.

Llord joins the Roughnecks after playing his rookie season in Philadelphia. Llord, a defenseman, was the fifth-overall pick in the 2006 entry draft, taken by the Wings. Llord played 11 games for Philadelphia in 2007.
