Didn’t Bots bridge him?  I am confused as to why Adams would do that.  

JBot gave him a two year bridge.  Kevyn Adams gave him a one year bridge. 

To me that was the first signal that Kevyn was about to blow everything up.  I believe he intended to move the old core including Eichel right from the start, and signing Sam to the 1 year deal was the opening salvo in the remake of the team.  I think at that point it wasn't so much that Sam wanted out as it was he'd been told by management (via the 1 year contract) that he wasn't going to be with the team long term.

Given the glacial pace of team building, I have to consider if KA didn’t think Sam fit the timeline.

He already knew that he was going to rebuild and that Sam wasn't part of it.

Off the top of my head,  didn't tampa sign their top players to big contracts and win a couple cups and still have those guys playing at a high level,  Winnipeg this past off season did the same and they're having a great season.  So,  how many times have we seen it?
