This morning, Elliotte Friedman of Sportnet announced Linus Ullmark and Buffalo Sabres’ respective arbitration filing numbers via Twitter. As is typically the case, the player and team had very different identified values in mind as they approach their arbitration hearing date of October 26.
Arbitration filing for Linus Ullmark (BUF): team is $1.8M; player is $4.1M

In all likelihood, the arbitrator will rule somewhere in between these two figures. RFA netminders have done pretty well so far this offseason.
