<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>MapleLeafs4ever34</b></div><div>Not bashing Buffalo, Toronto couldn't draw a FA for years. The Sabres just aren't a desirable team at the moment, at least I wouldn't think. I personally thought Ullmark would have quite a market come July 01, but he may indeed prefer to extend for the reasons you listed. As he said he wouldn't negotiate during the season? Do you know why an extension hasn't been worked out?</div></div>

Buffalo’s front office situation has been a mess this year
They basically fired everyone &amp; decided to go with a combo of Adams as new GM and our coach Ralph Kruger as the decision makers- with our coach actually taking the lead as far as what players he wanted here.
But things went to hell so quickly for us this season, that it became apparent Kruger was gonna be fired at some point.
So with the leading decision maker headed out the door, pretty much all talk of extensions got out on hold for upcoming UFAs &amp; hasn’t really been addressed yet.
Buffalo is expected to hire an AsstGM any day now though,
and then those extension talks should heat up- as well as trades for those we aren’t extending.

To sum it all up in a nutshell, we were just a disaster this season.

Maybe Ullmark won’t wanna come back?
He hasn’t indicated one way or the other to my knowledge.
And i do think there will be some teams interested in him, but in more of a 1a/1b type situation- bc like i said before- he’s not “proven” to be a “good” starter (he’s just “decent”) and he’s hurt a lot

But i guess we’ll see how it all plays out
