It is sad but he was probably one of many that had Buffalo on the "never want to go there list". I think that list is still pretty big even today. So Adams needs to be careful who he adds.
So now he openly talks about how stupid he was with regards to understanding his contract and the NTC. The Blues were genius in getting rid of this dopey guy. They dumped a bad contract and made room for their young forwards. I never thought they would win a Cup that year but everything came together: ROR's chemistry with a loaded vet team, a hot goalie, removal of deadweight (Berglund and Sobotka), and insertion of younger and tougher forwards in their place.
He had about a 100 texts and no phone calls from either team. That tells you something.
