Couple years, couple mil I'd bet. Probably more if he can convince people that that 20 goals is the norm for him (3 of last 5 seasons), not this season's 7 in 51 games.

Better player than this year showed. Bad fit with this team.

He's an NHL player in the right situation, incredible success story for his draft pedigree and he carried himself well his entire career.

Time to move on was a year ago. Wishing him luck.

I think his game has expanded beyond that but he's become such a whipping boy most fans refuse to even look at it.  You see what you want to see with him.  He's likely going to land somewhere as a middle six winger and power play specialist.

I’m half expecting to see him head to Sweden. 

Or this.

There may be a place that he fits.  He was a 7th rounder that could score some goals.  He had 20 three times, one in only 56 games. 

Not a two way player but this year he tightened up his game to match the “defensively responsible “ system that Granato said he put in, that Adams emphatically said “never changed”.

I might be completely making this up but I remember an article that floated around in his D+1 season talking about how he had the best shot in the draft and was known as the Swedish Stamkos and how if he didn’t play his draft season at 5’6” he would have been a first rounder. 

I always liked him and had high hopes for him. I hope he signs elsewhere and finds success. He can be a better player than he is and I hope he finds that level.
