‘Negotiations with Ullmark’s agent, Joakim Persson, continued through the opening of free agency Wednesday at noon and until Adams learned about the decision. Frank Seravalli of Daily Faceoff reported that Ullmark’s ask was a six-year, $36 million contract. The Sabres had plenty of money to spend – CapFriendly.com projects Buffalo with $29.266 million in cap space – but Adams wasn’t willing to overspend, particularly on a long-term contract. Sabres management wants to ensure it has ample salary cap space available when it’s time to make a pricy acquisition to supplement the young core.’
