Talent Analysis
Adams is a big tough defenseman who possesses good speed. He doesn’t wow you in any one particular area as an all around defenseman he gets the job done. Makes smart decisions and is not afraid to throw his weight around defensively. Adams had a solid rookie season at Providence College and with increased minutes and opportunities he could turn out to be a good all around defenseman.
Future
It is more than likely that Adams will continue to man the blue line for Providence College for the next three years. He isn’t anywhere near as NHL ready as some of the other defensive prospects in the Sabres system so Buffalo will likely be patient with him.
