Talent Analysis
Coming out of Junior it was thought that Adam had a limited game, with little upside at the NHL level because of his weak skating. However he is very good in front of the net, and uses his size to his advantage as his ability to muck in the corners and chip away at rebounds can be an important asset. Where he was once considered a role player at best in the NHL, most talent evaluators will tell you that after winning the AHL rookie of the year award last season, Adam will be a future second liner in the NHL.
Future
Adam should get his chance in 2011-12 to continue on his rookie of the year AHL campaign by earning a regular spot with Buffalo. He did not look out of place last season in the NHL and his skating has improved a lot since the beginning of 2010-11. Look for Adam to play center or wing on one of the Sabres bottom two lines to start and then make his way up the depth chart with his goal scoring ability.
