It doesn't even make sense. Typically if a team struggles for a long period of time it's because they draft very poorly. This is not the case with the Sabres. They have drafted very well for the most part.
It's nearly impossible to be this bad for this long with their drafting track record.
Sabres excel at finding players that can score goals with no regard to any other aspect of their game...they will be fine, probably have another 5 of him in the pipeline.
If teams are being that aggressive there is zero reason why Adams shouldn't pull a Regier level fleecing in any deal for him.
Anything that isn't a lopsided win for the Sabres especially when looked at as a package of what we got with the Peterka trade included is a major failure.
