Adams can help you win a series and you're not going to lose one because he's out there. I'm not sure that people should expect more for 700K.

[Pens4Life]

2 years again.. isnt he 46 years old already okey,one roster spot to solve and we are done!

[Willie Kool]

Adams finished the year with three goals and six assists for nine points, while ranking third on the squad with 107 hits and second among Penguins forwards with 37 blocked shots.

While being 18th on the team in average time on ice - 18th.

CFA brings something that the other forwards need a lot more of.

Those numbers are a product of two things: (1) he plays a lot of PK and (2) his line never has the puck at 5 on 5. The former is easily replaceable and the latter is not good.

[Beveridge]

Adams will sacrifice his body, team leader, never gets hurt. You could do a whole lot worse for 700k and not too much better at that price.

Good signing. 150K over league min is great value here.

True.

Was hoping we'd go in a different direction with somebody a little quicker, but for what he brings I shouldn't complain much.

[Scott]

Win by the Pens here. Adams is certainly worth 700k per season even at 53 years old

I don't know how 'easily replaceable' he is at 700K, with what he provides on the PK.

[KG]

Fine with bringing him back. He played every regular season and playoff game this past year.

He shouldn't be counted on to play every day again this year.

[Eismann]

Awesome!

Best,

Several years ago, before he stopped being any good.

[Gaucho]

Good.

There's no solid evidence that our PK is any good, aside from shutting down a putrid Boston power play. the immediate drop off in PK % once staal and michalek left isn't the best endorsement for Adams. He's lousy 5v5, and is ok on the PK. And I'm done with the leadership shtick. Lets see some evidence of anyone on this team being a leader.

But he's cheap as dirt and he limps into a ton of hits. So here's to 2 more years of a butt 4th line.

He was one of the primary pieces on a below average PK. Not sure you can describe him as anything more than decent on the PK at this point and now he's a year older. Would rather some youth there, but whatever not the end of the world.

[taz71]

our PK was good against NYI and OTT one of our main penalty killers is leaving via FA to the Wild so yeah this was necessary to ease in the youth movement.

[Crankshaft]

Weren't the Pens one of the top teams on PK this year?

What youth movement are you talking about? I don't see one.

Youth movement? Do you think Blysma is going to sit Glass or Adams to ease in guys like Sill and Uher? Are Jeffrey and Vitale going to be get time as PK'ers, which they excelled at in WBS?

We ended up 25th with a 79.6%

This year was going to be rough because of the declining cap, but Shero seems intent on having a crappy bottom six for years to come (through his relative allotment of cap spending).

Wasn't good against NYI. They had unlimited chances that they blew. Ottawa had a terrible power play, any way you slice it.

This. Also indicates he plays the puck with his body, not his stick, which hockey players need to be be able to do, IMHO....

Were much better in years past. Good reason for that, and he's the second guy on this list:
