Would you expect him to play for the NHL team next year?
A lot probably depends on this playoff run. Last year, he scored a lot, but Hershey bullied them a bit, and he couldn't overcome it. To be fair, there were long stretches in which the entire team was shut down by Hershey.
According to some well-respected posters on here, his game has seemingly taken a step forward after a slight dull period in January and February. The issue is, Buffalo already has some young forwards still working on their two-way game + Adams wants to win now, so with that mindset you can't afford to have too many young players learning the two-way side of the game.
