Who says Buffalo hasn't been trying? Maybe they offer him a new contract every day, but he turns them down, because for the first time in his 9 year NHL career he has the option to choose not to play for a team that is hot garbage, and maybe get a shot at the playoffs for once.
Maybe it says more for his character that he hasn't come out to the media and said he absolutely will not sign in buffalo, kinda like karlsson did to Ottawa, but no one questions his character.
