Right, because his father's death is connected to Buffalo how exactly? His dad couldn't live knowing Terry was the owner? I think it's fair to say athletes say anything when they make a change to make it seem like a positive change. Look at Peterka's comments in Utah. You think that isn't manufactured to fit the narrative? Yes he wanted out, but there's no way he sat back in Germany and thought, Utah, ya, that's where I want to be. 

The bottom line for me is KA botched goaltending then too. If Ullmark wasn't interested in signing why'd he protect him? Why didn't he grab one of the goalies that was free at that time? It makes no sense unless KA was sure he could sign him. So Linus lied to Adams and then told the truth about his father after? It simply makes no sense on that level. 

At the time, Boston fans were livid and thought Ullmark got grossly overpaid. Hindsight. 

It’s a brutal story and there is obvious trauma on Linus’ part. Look into it.  Don’t be a dick.

OK.  

Just remember that the season the Sabres had 91 points Linus won the Vezina Trophy.  (49 games, 40 wins and only 6 losses, 1.89 GAA, 0.938 SV Pct.)  

The Sabres played with 3 goalies (UPL, Anderson, Comrie) and then played Levi 7 games at the end of the season.  

Certainly Linus would not have the same numbers playing with Buffalo but it is reasonable to assume the Sabres would have had at least 2 more points with Ullmark in the lineup.  

None of that was known at the time I would have told him to go pound sand. And after he tried playing me like that, I’d have been just as inclined to tell him, anyway.

I'm not and I know it. So explain to me how going to Boston helps with it?
