I think the mandate he was working under was to give Krueger whatever he wanted. Choice didn't enter into it unless you mean choosing to take the job. C'mon @Eleven , you know this stuff. You weren't in a coma. Or is dragging down Adams that important to you?
Different dynamic at the time. Adams had to back up his coach Darth Krueger, who wanted Hall, and Hall used that leverage to hold Adams over a barrel. Adams wasn't free of Krueger's vile influence until he was fired.
Because he was brought in on Krueger's say-so. He dogged it while he was here, and he wouldn't waive his No Trade List when the Sabres were offered a 1st for him. Hall forced Adams into that bad Bruins deal, or did you forget?
