Kevyn Adams makes an impactful trade at the deadline

For my second prediction, it comes at the NHL trade deadline. This is more of a hypothetical prediction, but let's say the Sabres are in the playoff race. I think general manager Kevyn Adams will make an impactful move to help Buffalo make a push for the postseason. Two years ago, the Sabres acquired Jordan Greenway at the deadline as they were battling for the playoffs.

Even though they didn't make the playoffs, Greenway added some much needed grit to the lineup. For this years deadline, Adams pulls the trigger to improve the roster. We have talked numerous times about this offseason making or breaking the Sabres GM. If that is the case and the team is doing well, I think he pulls the trigger at the deadline.

I understand talk is just talk and actions speak louder than words. However, if Adams does indeed have a good offseason and Buffalo is in the middle of the playoff race, I do see him making a move to help their chances of breaking the playoff drought.
