If you look at the 2020 draft when Adams took over, and look at the players the Sabres had in their organization that were U-26 years old:

Forward: Reinhart, Eichel, Thompson, Mittelstadt, Skinner, Cozens, Quinn, Peterka, Rodrigues, Girgensons, Olofsson

Defense: Dahlin, Ristolainen, Montour, McCabe, Colin Miller, Borgen, Samuelsson, Jokiharju

Goalie: Ullmark, Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen

Should have been able to build a pretty good team with all those pieces.

yeah I'm not saying that's a cup winning group (they are a bit thin in some places ) but no playoffs in the 5 years since (and for years prior) is pretty telling
