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!
As a fan, your resigned to the fact Drury and Briere are gone.
Given this team, the cap room and the needs. What can the Sabres do during this FA period that will make you feel comfortable that the team is totally committed to winning a Stanley Cup?
I'd like to see us sign a SOLID 2nd line defensemen-- I think too much pressure was put on Tallinder, Lydman and Campbell and they got really weak (understandably) during the playoffs. Someone like Hannon would be nice.
And I'd like to see us sign a really good 2nd line center.. I HATE Derrick Roy at the center position and he currently looks like the 2nd best center outside of Connolly.

I'd like to see them make a concerted effort to extend Vanek and Miller so we don't have to panic every couple of seasons about losing our best players.
After that, a solid defensemen or two (doesn't have to produce points, just sound and physical defensively) and maybe some size up front.
