Fact is when healthy there is no need for Adams. Our bottom six will be a combination of Comeau, Spaling, Goc and Sill on our fourth line. On our third line we will have a combination of Downie, Sutter, Comeau, Bennett and Spaling. That is barring out a trade for a goal scorer for Malkin which might even push Dupuis into that conversation. Really impressed with Spaling's play this year and understand those selling his praise in the off season.
Assuming BB becomes healthy, it will be interesting to see if Sill or Adams sits. Sill has definitely been more dynamic as far as forechecking goes (although both are pretty inept skill-wise). He's definitely outplayed Adams, but there's just no substitute for "savvy veteran leadership", or so the argument will go.
