Why would the Sabres do that? They could've just paid ullmark what he wanted if the Sabres wanted to keep him.

The Buffalo media would have a field day with that trade, considering how it was Luukkonen's potential as a future starter that in part led to Buffalo letting Ullmark walk away and such a trade would be a 180 flip on that forecast. I think Sabres' fans would generally welcome Ullmark back but the Bruins would have to retain salary if they want 2 picks + Luukkonen.......and then there's the liklihood that Ullmark wouldn't waive his NMC for a reunion in Buffalo anyway, especially if he'd be facing another situation where the organization has more faith in a prospect (Levi).
