Adams is understandably willing to make a big move right now. Looking at their group, there’s no doubt they could use another proven top-six winger and a solid right-shot defenseman.

Additionally, Adams understandably doesn’t want to part with any of his top young NHL-caliber players. The Sabers are currently looking to break their 13-year playoff drought, so trading a key NHL piece just doesn’t make sense for them right now.
The Sabers have a solid group of prospects and draft picks to work with to potentially make an impact. It will be intriguing to see if they end up doing just that from here.
