Any of those without having to give up a key player/RFA would be ideal. If Adams can do that and get a solid goalie, that's about all you can ask for for next season, besides just taking care of the minor odds and ends.

there are others too….teams against the cap need to create space with unloading a high salary For not a core piece being given back.

i think a deal isn’t done till after round 1 is done. A factor is when does buffalo draft a RD in round 1. If it’s top 12 thrn you expect him in 23/24 If it’s after 20 then possibly 25/25.

How confident are you all in this kid?

I've got the weird COVID draft, weak NCAA competition, AHLers in Beijing thing hanging in my mind with him.

In not worried.

as a whole the 2021 draft will be an outlier when it comes to drafting talent. when it compares to other drafts.

historically most of your top 20 players are very good player. most have a long career in the NHL even if they dont meet their draft pedigree,

You start seeing misses in the draft outside the top 20. There are a couple of decent players drafted in the 2nd round, then a few others in the 2nd-3rd round are what I would call replacement level players who might go 5+ yrs in the NHL but they arent superstars.

After the 2nd round there might be 2-4 true star players per draft.

From year to year the early ranked top 5-7 players dont change much to when they got drafted. You might have 1-3 players who were top 30 might move up to top 12, a couple top 12 might drop. gmerally the top 3-5 stay the same. Power was in top 5 post 2020 draft and he stayed there.

Does he know anyone on the team?

He was on the WC team with Miller last spring. Other than that, only some tangential connections (Pastujov's older brother played some for the Amerks this year, Matt Barnaby's son and him were teammates on the Steel 3 years ago, obviously Levi at last year).
