Kevin Hayes has a 12 team no trade list, #stlblues are not on it meaning he would accept a trade to STL. There were rumors of Hayes coming to Blues last week but never materialized. Stay tuned

Flyers would retain part of Hayes contract. I believe he was focal point of trade talks between the 2 clubs recently, not Konecny or Laughton.

Blues want to remain in playoff contention next season. May explore bringing back ROR in July, as well - he would be open to a return.

Has nothing to do with Boston and everything to do with Adams signing him to a 1 year deal walking him into FA. Funny how all these vibes and good extensions came after Ventura got here. Don't hate Ullmark or Boston, little mad the Sabres were stupid.

Dont hate. Very happy Ullmark fell flat on his face and Boston lost in the 1st round.

Just you know with the constant hate on Adams for pretty much his whole tenure, you brought up Ullmark many times now. I dont remember you hating Adams for not signing him? Remember 99% of this blog being thankful that boston signed him instead of us.

Lots of people give sh*t when .5ppg playoff player Sam Reinfart gets brought up on how much he sucks but you get a free pass for bringing up Ullmark?

I notice you’re completely ignoring that he was hurt in the playoffs. Had some effect, no?
- sbroads24


That i dont know. I know come playoff time most players are playing through something.

Whats his excuse for 21-22 playoffs?

Dont be. I was happy to see Ullmark and Boston lose. I like the Sabres. I dislike most other team especially Boston.

I dont hate anybody. Hope that clears things up

Looks like he had a solid point total last year. How was he at the defense?

Looks like a upgrade over Jokiharu

So now the list of teams who have made moves

LA
AZ
CBJ
PHI
COL
NSH

So we don’t have the “who’s making trades?” Excuses to use anymore.

Ahhh Ullmark used the Sabres as leverage and left. He didn’t want to be here at all. He was very frustrated and partly mentally broken

Actually if you go back when Adams was hired, I was one of the few who said let's give the new blood a try. You can say anything you want to me about Ullmark. Only once did he have a Save % under .905 for the Sabres. It was a mistake by Adams his last year of RFA to sign him to a 1yr deal and not more. And yes he used the Sabres the following year to leverage a better contract. Guess that's business. I like the growing of the Sabres young Core, doesn't mean I can't complain about things that are the same since he got here. We need a Goalie and a Top 4 D. See people saying be patient it's only June 23rd, well I now we were talking the Same thing 3yrs ago probably around the same time and every year since. Sabres are growing and getting better, but they haven't done anything yet. You keep sugar coating things while I will speak my mind.

Yes he did after they screwed with him the year before. He used the Sabres, cause they played games with him.

He didn't even necessarily use them. He said he would stay, if we paid him more than Boston was offering. I can't believe this garbage still comes up. Adams was right to let him walk.

Holy S, really? June 24th? Did they win a prize for making trades the first week into the offseason?

Also, there is a whole lotta garbage moving around.

He was right if he replaces him. If he doesn’t then he wasn’t

The Sabres could be paying him 8 mil per year rigjt now and it wouldn’t be effecting them today.

I can’t blame any player for wanting out of the poop show the Sabres were.

They were horribly run at the time.

Luckily they have found some stability.

He wanted way too much money / term from us. I liked the guy just fine, but I am not going to pay a tax to keep him. It's not even a "wants to be here" kind of thing - he wanted too much from us, so let him walk.

I’m not criticizing the team/Adams yet.

I’m getting ahead of the “the offseason just begun” crowd

Not that deep

Who was Linus Ullmark when he walked out the door? He was another guy at that point. He showed promise and was hurt a lot. The revisionist history never ceases to amaze me. Ullmark, Montour, etc - people like to pretend that these guys were then what they are now.

So it isn't enough to get it right by the end of the offseason (or by the trade deadline). He is being judged for when the moves are made. Makes complete sense.

Listen, I hate revisionist history more than anyone.

What we cannot do- is claim Adams has great foresight predicting Tage would be good, patting him on the back for being patient with guys (you did this yesterday) then in the same breathe excuse him for not knowing guys like Ullmark and Montour etc were actually good.

Sabres need a middle pairing RD and a goalie. That’s the facts

If they 'wanted him to be here', they don't offer 1 year @ 2.6m
