History
2006-07: Given the hype and heightened expectations he received upon suiting up for the Fog Devils, it can be suggested that his rookie season was a bit of a disappointment. Displaying raw skill and a bit of an awkward physical game, Adam was limited to only 15 points in 63 games for St. John’s in the 2006-07 season. This sort of stumbling start is reminiscent among many big-bodied junior rookies, and any QMJHL bust concerns were quickly put to rest.
2007-08: Adam had an excellent sophomore campaign, playing a sound physical game and improving his decision-making ability. He also started to show the sort of offensive finish that had been expected of him when St. John’s drafted him so high. Adam began to use his size to his advantage, banging bodies along the boards and wreaking havoc in front of the net, with or without the puck. He led the Fog Devils in both goals and points, with 36 and 66 respectively, and also posted a strong eight points in the playoffs.
Talent Analysis
Adam has a limited game, but he executes it effectively. He is very good in front of the net, and uses his size to his advantage. He is not a strong skater, but his ability to muck in the corners and chip away at rebounds can be an important asset. Although he does not have a great deal of upside, he is very good in front of the net, and projects as an effective role player.
Future
He is coming off a big year in the QMJHL, and he will either try to continue developing some offensive ability at that level, or move on to a role in the AHL.
