The Buffalo Sabres are in a tight cap space situation, with three restricted free agents - Linus Ullmark, Sam Reinhart and Victor Olofsson - heading to arbitration in the next few weeks. Arbitration decisions don’t take into consideration a team’s cap situation, and the Sabres have only about $13.645 million in cap space at this point.
So what can we expect from these upcoming arbitration hearings? Let’s start with Linus Ullmark, who is the only goaltender in the league currently heading to arbitration.
Alexandar Georgiev had elected arbitration, but has since agreed to terms with the Rangers.
