per Kevin O twitter. Both are not on the morning skate for the Amerks who have a game tonight and both are expected on their way to Philadelphia to join the Sabres.

Amerks may have gotten better swapping out Larsson and Risto for Adam and McNabb.

Am I the only one still holding out hope for Luke Adam??? He is only 23, I think he could reclaim his NHL career this season under new management/coaching.
Maybe. But a combined 30 points and +10 for Adam and McNabb won't be easy to replace.
Considering the Amerks are one of the worst defensive teams in the league, losing McNabb is a positive.
This is it for them, I'd imagine.
I'm very interested to see how Adam responds. I'm confident McNabb will run with his shot.
Never understood having 14 forwards, don't see the need. Unless they're on a long road trip.
Alright. Lets see if these guys play. I'm sure Adam can skate for Scott on most nights but who is McNabb going to replace on any given night.
Defensively, no doubt. Offensively? Doubtful.
With Nolan placing an emphasis on giving guys the best chance to succeed, I wouldn't be surprised to see Adam given a shot on Leino's wing opposite Ott.
Moulson-Hodgson-Ennis
Adam-Leino-Ott
Foligno-Girgensons-Flynn
Tropp-McCormick-Stafford
Look, if you had one shot, or one opportunity
To seize everything you ever wanted. one moment
Would you capture it or just let it slip?
Agreed, they are better now defensively, RR and Larsson are better defensivley than Adam and McNabb
Dave Andreychuk had a great career standing in front of the net banging in dirty goals.Not to discount the amount of points Adam put on the board so far this year, but he really just stands around in front of the net and bangs in dirty goals. Maybe Larrson coming down ignites a whole line instead of one guy scoring all the goals. Amerks also have the return of Porter to look forward to, overall the offense should be even better when they play tonight.
Read this as Ron Rolston at first.
Give Adam one more shot at the NHL. Worst case scenario, it helps us get that first overall pick? I am interested to see what McNabb can do up in the NHL. I thought he played fairly well in his last stint with the big club.
I'm not sure I get your point. You're making it sound like a negative, but I read your description (I assume you're accurate as it appears you've seen some Amerks games, which I haven't), combined with his point totals, and it sounds like a huge positive. Not just a positive, but a big improvement on his last extended stint with the Sabres, where he faded into on-ice obscurity.Not to discount the amount of points Adam put on the board so far this year, but he really just stands around in front of the net and bangs in dirty goals.
