That extra $1MM helps the Sabres get to the cap floor, gives Ullmark his Sally Fields moment (you like me, you really like ME!), and makes it tough to pull the trigger as an "insurance policy" if you're the Bruins. This stinks. 3 Quote

This stinks. Maybe they did and he decided going to a playoff team was more important then money on another rebuild? Theres a really good chance they wouldn't see the playoffs until his final year in that deal Quote

It's literally Adams job and what he's judged on 2 years in a row he didn't have Plan A locked down and now WE have to suffer. Hopefully Plan B is a good one & an attainable one. The kids need competent goaltending covering their learning/ teachable moments. 1 1 Quote
bunomatic Posted July 28, 2021 Report Posted July 28, 2021 Don’t blame him. I’d bail at this point as well. The team has no intent on winning obviously. What a shite show. Take a bow Mr. Pegula. 7 Quote

But if the Sabres decided to up the offer for $6 mil would that have been enough? Maybe he was shopping to see if there was a competitive team willing to give him a similar deal? Quote

PerreaultForever Posted July 28, 2021 Report Posted July 28, 2021 It will be interesting, purely from an objective hockey point of view, to see what Ullmark does behind an actual good D and team that back checks. I have a feeling it might be similar to Lehner onto the Islanders. 1 Quote

Rask just had hip surgery and is expected to miss 5 to 6 months. Training camps open in September. Ullmark will see plenty of action. They also still have Swayman. Quote

Thinking otherwise would be quite foolish. 1 Quote

McDavid has seen the playoffs twice. A scoring leader, a real captain and his Edmonton Oilers attract the free agents as they wish to play on a McDavid team. Accurate comparison I think. Quote

Nope, the post was that even if the Sabres finish last and get the lottery pick again, they may not get the first pick next year and have to settle for "second best yet again in a better draft supposedly. Like they had to with Eichel, when McDavid was really who they wanted. I think I read his post properly. 1 Quote
