All: The new Billszone site with the updated software is scheduled to be turned on Tuesday, May 21, 2024. The company that built it, Dynascale, estimates a FOUR HOUR shut down, from 8pm Pacific, (5pm Eastern) while they get it up and running. Nobody will be able to post in any forum until they are done. Afterwards, you may need to do a web search for the site, as old links will not work, because the site is getting a new IP address. Please be patient. If there are bugs, we will tackle them one at a time. Remember the goal is to be up and running with no glitches by camp. Doing this now assures us of that, because it gives us all summer to get our ducks in a row. Thank you!
There is work to be done and things to be learned. We are going to try to get the old look back - or something close to it. We also know there are bugs. A thread will be started to report bugs and then we can pass those onto the host.
Thank you for all the patience and support with this - hopefully this will greatly reduce the crashes and other site issues we have had lately.
Please use this thread to report any issues you come across

You can't lose Vanek at 23 years old and a 42 goal scorer. Give Vanek 3.5,MM Drury 7MM and we need a banger like Zubrus so give him 3-3.5MM. Fill out the roster with some Rochester guys, offer Peters the minimum or sign a veteran tough guy cheap and another veteran blue liner. Not opposed to trading the rights to Roy.

Zubrus will come cheaper than 3 Mil. I am thinking 2 maybe.
17 million? Ok here goes...and with an estimated amount for guys....
Tomas Holmstrom (detroit) 4
Kimmo Timmonen (nashville) 3.5
Sheldon Souray (montreal) 3.5
Vanek I renegotiate long-term, meaning I'm spending more now but less later...I really think if he puts up another season that mirrors last year, we're looking at a guy that could possibly command 8 per season. Meaning, he goes bye bye.
4.5
Zubrus 2.5
I then cut Spacek, Kalinin...which frees I think 6 million...I cut or trade them, not sure if they're tradeable though....
So far, I've spent 18 and cut out 6....so I'm at 12 million with 5 million to spread out among...
Mair, Roy, Paille, Conklin, Paetsch, Ryan.
I believe with these maneuvers, I'm still under the 17 million in total too.
Seeing I let both captains walk, I'd give either Campbell, Goose or Zubs the C.

Your going to have to add 2-3 million on for each defensemen you want to sign. If that tool in montreal is averaging around 6 a year the market price is going to be pretty high for star quality d-man
I am also not opposed to freeing up cap space by trading Connolly...I love the guy but with his history of concussions and the Sabres being soft I rather have sign Zubruis and trade Connolly....

Zubrus might be done in the NHL just throwing this out there.
Sabres forward Dainius Zubrus was sidelined by a knee injury in Buffalo's season-ending loss to Ottawa in Game 5 of the Eastern Conference finals.
Zubrus confirmed the injury on Monday, two days after the Sabres were eliminated. NHL teams aren't required to identify injuries during the playoffs.
Zubrus isn't sure if he'll require surgery to repair damaged cartilage. He had an arthroscopic procedure on the same knee in the summer of 2005.
Drury worse case senerio 7. Vanek 4 Roy 2 back up goalie 1 paetch 1 paille 1
16 million to keep one captain and the restricted free agents along with adding a veteran back up goalie.
Vanek Roy Max
Pommer Connolly Hecht
Stafford Drury Paille
Kotalik Goose Mair/peter with the extra million?
Tallinder/Lydman
Campbell/Spacek
Kalinin/Paetch
Our team with 17 mil would pretty much be the same Minus two captains.
Now what i want to happen, which never does
Trade Kotalik for a pick, trade Kalinin for a pick thats a additional 5 mill.
With 21 million of cap space say drury will shave a million off and signs for 6. Vanek gets 4-5 no matter what. in this case he gets four. Roy for 2, Scott Hartnell for 3, Sarge from tampa for 2.5. say it takes 2 to lock up paille and Paetch. find a back up goalie and a goon for the remaining 1.5
Hartnell Drury Stafford
Pommer Connolly Hecht
Vanek Roy Max
Paille Goose Peters?
Tallinder/Lydman
Campell/Paetch
Sarge/Spacek
The more you look at it by spending up to the cap i can't see any way the team keeps both Drury and Briere without gutting the rest of the team.
I am assuming this is complete fantasy, so here is what I do:
Chris Drury - I know the figure that everyone throws around is 7, but I think Drury signs a 3-year 18.5 million dollar deal.
(6 million of that this year)
down to $11
I trade Dmitri Kalinen for the best prospect I can get. I will replace him with Nathan Paetch.
up $13
I trade Ales Kotalik to the Chicago Blackhawks for Dustin Byfuglien.
up $15.3
Sign Vanek for 2-years 6.2 million. Leaving him still as a RFA at age 24.
Sign Derek Roy for 3-years 5.5 million dollars.
down to 10.3
Sign Darren McCarty to a 2-year 2 million dollar deal.
Down to 9.3
Sign Ladislav Nagy to a 2-year 7 million dollar deal.
down to 5.8
Sign Yannic Perrault to a 2-year 1.5 million dollar deal
down to 4.3
And/or without trying to figure out who goes where:
Sign Ty Conklin or Robert Esche for like 500,000
Down to 11.7
Sign Danius Zubrus for 3 years - 8.6 million dollars
down to 8.9
Sign Roman Hamrlik for 3 - years - 12 million dollars
down to 4.9 million
