Don’t care about Provy in the deal. However that’s a big no on including Tippett.

A second for Cody ceci??? When did chiarelli become the Sabres GM?

Don't know which is worse having a GM that gives away the farm (Murray) or one that always smiles and does nothing (Adams)
I'm not saying make a trade just to make a trade but a Meier could tip the scales in the Sabres favor to make the playoffs.
The players need management to show the work they've accomplished to this point is rewarded. Adams has the ammo to use and not put the prospect system in jeporady.
All he has to do is grow a pair and take a shot. He hasn't made a trade to help the team, the Eichel trade was forced upon him and to his credit he held out to get what he wanted.
Then do a minor trade to upgrade the D.

Don’t see Ceci as an upgrade for us
Doubt the Sabres would be interested- and certainly not for a 2nd

Adams cleaned house and helped build a healthy locker room and a very good culture with the help of his head coaching hire in Donny meatballs. He is being very patient and it's been going well. They weren't even supposed to compete for a playoff spot with the younger roster in the league. Trading the farm for players (GMTM) is a major part of why the team has been out of the playoffs for so long since it killed the future of this team. I'm fine with Adams not making a splash this year, but wouldn't be opposed to making one big move for the playoffs.

Once the TDL is here and done then we'll see if Adams has grown as a GM, I agree with a lot of which you say but it's easy to tear down a team and yes the culture has changed but the big reason for that was the cancer was cut out and is gone and I think the Vegas coach called him out publicly. Trading one of the 3 firsts from last year or if SJ would accept Rosen isn't going to hurt us.
Actually I won't continue bc it's not fair to hijack the OP thread

Kostin will almost certainly get more than you’re proposing - likely in the 1.5/2.25M range a year for 2-3 years.

Also, hard pass on Probby.
