‘If I’m Adams, I’m looking to trade the pick for a top-6 forward. If the player coming to Buffalo is good enough, I’d also be interested in sweetening the trade by adding another prospect if it were the only way to get the deal done. Adams knows he made a mistake last summer sitting on his hands thinking everybody was going to improve. He got a rude awakening when everybody regressed except for Luukkonen, Peterka, Jacob Bryson and Henri Jokiharju.’
