No reason to think that last season’s AHL Rookie Of The Year, center Luke Adam(39) will be spending any time in the minors in 2011/2012.
The Buffalo Sabres‘ 2008 2nd round pick (#44 overall) is off to a quick start in the NHL in what will very likely be credited as his rookie season (Calder Trophy anyone?) with a pair of goals and assists in the first two games played.
He’s got skills and knows how to use them.
Entering his 2nd season, Buffalo Sabres‘ 2008 2nd round draft pick (#44 overall), left wing Luke Adam(39) is looking to put the AHL in his rearview mirror after skating 19 games in the NHL in his rookie year. The results were a bit mixed as he registered only 4 points (3 goals and an assist).
He fared really well with Portland Pirates scoring 29 goals and 33 assists for 62 points, good enough for 2nd on the team a couple of points behind Mark Mancari. He was also voted 2010/2011 AHL Rookie Of The Year.
I would be surprised he spent much more time in the minors.
