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!
Please use this thread to report any issues you come across

John Buccigross wrote 29 trade scenarios for Kovalchuk (one for each team). Keep in mind that none of this is fact or rumor, and simply Buccigross making things up as he goes.
Buffalo Sabres Proposed trade: Kovalchuk and Kubina for Thomas Vanek, Zack Kassian and a first-round pick
There is a very good chance he ends up in beantown with former linemate Savard.
I remember that one fateful day when Coach took me aside. I knew what was coming. "You don't have to tell me," I said. "I'm off the team, aren't I?" "Well," said Coach, "you never were really ON the team. You made that uniform you're wearing out of rags and towels, and your helmet is a toy space helmet. You show up at practice and then either steal the ball and make us chase you to get it back, or you try to tackle people at inappropriate times."
It was all true what he was saying. And yet, I thought something is brewing inside the head of this Coach.
He sees something in me, some kind of raw talent that he can mold. But that's when I felt the handcuffs go on.

Getting Kovalchuk as a rental is ******ed because of how much it would cost, when you would just lose Kovalchuk at the end of the season. It's a good thing that Regier isn't dumb enough to pull the trigger on a move to get Kovie. If you go after Kovie, you do it this Summer.
The Sabres will NEVER get him, it's just not the Sabre way.
Nope, they won't, and I'm glad Regier isn't that foolish. Leave those costly moves to teams like the Rangers. But even if Regier wanted him, you don't do it to get him as a rental.
so... Vanek, the lone all-star quality and 40 goal scorer in our lineup for a 1 year rental player who we couldn't resign because of the cap in the offseason?
Granted he's a gifted player but that's an insane price for a rental
My wife told me that if I had a dollar for every girl who found me unattractive, girls would find me VERY attractive.

It's ESPN - you know it's coming from a 'hockey special-ed person' before you even read it. Melrose drives the short-bus and Buccigross and the other ******s are his passengers.
if we could lock him up long-term, I'd take that trade in a second. Vanek has some talent, but he's not a leader or a true sniper and he doesn't play up to the contract.
However, that's FAR too much to pay for a rent-a-player for one playoff run.

Vanek's not gonna sniff 40 this year- he'll be lucky to get 30. But I do agree that it's too much to pay for a rental.
