Cape Breton center Luke Adam, a second-round pick of the Sabres in 2008, is one of three players nominated for the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League's Most Valuable Player award. The 19-year-old finished fifth in league scoring with 49 goals and 90 points in 56 games, a huge bounceback year after a serious spleen injury last season.

General Manager Darcy Regier would like to get Adam signed to a pro contract for Portland but isn't having much luck.

"You have to let it run its course," Regier said. "We'd like to get [Portland] as much help as we can. But on the other hand, the harder you try and the more money they want, too."

Kind of surprising. You'd think the kid would jump all over his chance to get started in the AHL and work towards his NHL career.

So, does this mean Luke Adams is an asshole for not signing?
I mean, he looks more and more like another Kozlov to me.

Any thoughts on where this is going?

For all we know, Darcy said one number and Luke said another and they haven't talked since.

Well, that's a buzz kill....

If he does sign, I'm pretty sure he can play right away. If I remember correctly, when Brampton was bounced from the playoffs last season, Cody Hodgson was signed by the Canucks, and started playing for the Moose within a week...

Hopefully they can come to an agreement

Not really. it could mean Darcy is low-balling him(big surprise) or Luke's Agent thinks he is worth more since he's had such a good season in the Q and was a member of the WJC.

Low balling him, league minumum is 500K and rookie max is only just over 1 million.

Really not too much to work with there, especially for a kid who's never played a pro game in his life.

Ah, well then, it sounds like Darcy needs to stop being the asshole. ;)

It's most likely his agent trying to get the rookie max for the kid.

But what agent won't make their client seem better than they really are?

Well it took a while to sign Gerbe didn't it? Kennedy too.

I think with both Kennedy and Gerbe they said they were both going to finish their senior years or something, because if you sign them, they count against the cap, even if they play in the NCAA.

We had their rights and if we were going to sign them, they were going to have to play in the AHL or it would be a waste.

True, which is, if given, can reach 25% of the contract, and I think you can give up to 75% of the contract in bonus.

I'm thinking Darcy lowballing him and his agent but Luke probably wants the rookie max! I could see wanting to lowball him to sign if he wasn't one of out top 5 prospects but come on why get cheap with the guy on a few hundred thousand when your owner is a billionaire. Just plain stupid. I hate Darcy Regier and his stupid ass ways.

Hope they can work something out, I'd love to see Luke Adam just a call-up away.
