It's Adam, not Adams; he was not on an NHL All-Star Team or even in an all-star game (these are different); and even if he had been, it would not mean that most Sabres fans saw him as the next star player (or whatever verbiage you used earlier)--most of us didn't. I was on this board back then, too, and I do not remember a huge amount of enthusiasm for Luke Adam.
The biggest discussion we ever had about Luke Adam here was when Ruff tried to murder him during a practice.
