This is exactly what I see Adams doing...making one move for a LD whether it's someone as costly as Ekholm or someone more in line with the Sabres timeline but I wouldn't be opposed to this trade.

I bet Nashville would get more for Ekky. 2023 1st, good prospect, mid round pick or something to make cap work is what I try and stick to

Gonna have to keep adding if you want Ekholm.

No, I don't think so

I doubt that. He's 32 and makes top pairing money for 3 more years!

You would be incorrect. Your offer does nothing for NSH. Bryson is useless and the 1st is for next year, non bueno. Swap Bryson for Olofsson and Jokiharju and you have a deal.

I mean, no

Ok, shop elsewhere then. We're not giving our players away for pennies on the dollar.

I don't agree that this is what you are doing, but ok

You're trading for Ekholm and you didn't even give us THIS YEARS first. Stop it.
Not to mention the pick is top 10 protected? For next year?

We don't want a 25 year old bottom 4 defenseman, either.

If you want a locked under contract, 6'4, primarily shutdown defenseman who can play 21+ minutes a night and score 30-40 pts a season...
It's gonna cost you a 1st+, and not just some scraps.

I mean, I gave you a 1st+

You gave us Bryson, which we would have no use for, and a next years top 10 protected first.

Not even close.

I gave you a first and more, which you literally just said was the cost.

I like this. Shore up the D with a solid, if unspectacular, veteran. Let the youngster F spread their wings.

You're being dense on purpose.
You have us quantity>quality.

The first would have to be in this years draft and the + would have to be a middle ground prospect. Which you gave neither of.

You didn't say that. You said 1st+. Sorry for not being a mind reader

You might want to do some research then, you're way off the mark and to think otherwise is a mistake.
