Serious question.
What's the likelihood a GM who trades an established franchise center in their prime stays employed long term?
Mike O'Connell traded Joe Thornton and was fired 4 months later (Boston recovering had a lot more to do with Bergeron being ready to replace Thornton as the 1C immediately [scored 73 points the year Thornton was traded] than it did getting Thornton off the team or any of the scrubs they got in return for him)
Jason Botterill traded ROR July 1, 2018 and was fired June 16, 2020, so he lasted nearly two years (1 year, 11 months, and 15 days exact)
Adams' resume is also going to include losing Reinhart as well.
The Pegulas generally fire GMs after 3 years, but it's hard to see Adams remaining GM that long
Then again, Kevyn Adams closest comparable is the godfather of stooges, Garth Snow, and he was the Islanders GM for nearly 12 years
