Perception is reality. 

and how any player or executive could perceive Terry as anything but a doofus when he refuses to hold Adams accountable is everything 

I wouldn't even bring perception into this and just say 'reality is reality.'

The Sabres are a sh## show that any legitimate player, executive, or coach should avoid like the plague.

Condensed schedule for the Olympics this season. If Norris' injury recovery is the projected 8+ weeks, he's going to miss 24+ games (Dec 1 return). So... there's your max games played under 60 (and he's got 1 already).

Think of how much ground we’ll make up on the Cozens front though: every game Norris simply misses he’s benefiting the team relative to what Cozens did while playing. 

verdict: won the trade

My point is that merely firing Adams aids in perception regardless of the reality of Terry being a doofus

Now, justify the 2nd as a sweetener.

Needed that to land Bernard-Docker; Gilbert wasn't enough.

Oh ...

Provided nothing but a “block” to the players from picks in rounds 3-7 making it to the show

If he makes it 10 games after his return I will be flabbergasted.

What could Adams have even done? Whoever the utter yokel is who signed Cozens to that deal should pay 

That's a separate conversation and I agree it was a bad contract, hence I said you couldn't get more in a trade.  We're a desperate franchise that has to take risks like that sometimes.  That one was a bad one and it's compounding with Norris hurt.
