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!
This is only a test
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

Seriously, what's the deal with Gerbe? Kennedy and Myers have already made it to the Sabres for significant time. Is this normal development time? Is he just a victim of the number of forwards that Buffalo has? Is this a contracting/CBA issue like the one Myers had? Or is he simply struggling?
With the hype Gerbe had coming out of college, it's frustrating to see him still in the minors.
Ennis reminds me of a Danny Briere. He has a nose for the goal. He's small but feisty. Great speed and great hands. He could be a good one for years to come and even more reason to trade Gerbe while his value is still somewhat high.
OP...Ennis is a VERY good prospect. I think he could possibly be a very good offensive player for this franchise in a year or two.
I didn't mean this as a knock on Ennis. I honestly don't know enough about him to comment, positive or negative, and I don't have a problem with him getting some NHL ice time. If he's good, he stays, and if he's bad, he goes back to Portland when we're healthy. Nothing bad can come of it.
I'm just frustrated that Gerbe is taking his sweet time to contribute to this franchise.

But Gerbe is hurt. Also, anyone hear Lindy after the game? He assumed he was going to play Nate Paetsch tonight but Darcy Regier came up with the idea of calling Ennis up.... brilliant move by Darcy.

Yeah Op. Ennis is a highly touted offensive prospect. IMO our best prospect outside of Myers. Him over Gerbe was a no brainer especially when looking at production in Portland.

ok now we're getting somewhere. WHY is Gerbe being outplayed by Ennis? That's the whole problem here. I'm not trying to say Ennis is bad. I'm saying Gerbe should be better.

If you ask me I don't see Gerbe being much of a force at the NHL level. At least not in what I saw out of him last season. He was thrown around like a rag doll. Not sure how much bulk he could even add at this point.

Yeah, I tried to say the same thing, but I got a lot of "what about St. Louis and Briere and Gionta?" No one wanted to listen.

But unlike you people don't want to write players off before they touch the ice in the NHL. He hasn't impressed and may never. Regardless I won't write off a player until the prove otherwise.
Hell Ennis isn't get big either. Did just fine tonight too. May flop on his face, may turn out to be a super star. We just have to sit back and hope for the best. Not try to convince everyone of something just so it can be thrown back in their face.

Because Ennis was thought of as the most gifted offensive player in his draft and only lasted until late in the first because he himself is tiny.
Gerbe was a later round pick that flourished at the college level which doesn't always translate to the NHL.
I love Gerbe's effort just don't know if he can overcome the size. I wouldn't totally count him out but I wouldn't count ON him being a star player.
