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

He can't go to Portland because because he's too young. But the Sabres can send him back to juniors. Kassian is in the same boat as Myers was, he either makes the team or he goes back to jr's
"He's someone that we'll talk to about a contract after the Memorial Cup," Regier said. "We'll see where he is. He's got another year of junior eligibility, and if he needs to go back that'll be fine, too."
I sense another success story coming out of Buffalo's farm
“You hold a players only meeting and get each guy to stand up and say what he can bring to the table... and if he doesn't, you punch him in the face.” ~~ Harry Neale, on how to fix the Sabres season.
So stupid -- he doesn't need another year of junior - he needs a year of AHL to keep progressing
If Regier stays as our GM, I can see this kid playing most of next year in juniors and all of the next in the minors because "he has to earn it". That us unless he really wows Ruff next year like Myers did, but I think Myers is an aberration.

Is this necessarily a bad thing? There aren't a lot of nineteen year olds who are ready for the NHL like Myers was. It's entirely possible that Kassian needs a couple more years to be able to contribute without being a liability. He is having a great playoffs in the OHL, but that doesn't really mean he can play NHL already.
It's unfortunate that he wouldn't be able to play AHL next year, which would probably be the right path, but it would be more unfortunate to rush him into the NHL and stunt his growth and ruin the prospect. If he's going to be a great player, I'm willing to wait a couple years to see him if it's the right thing to do.

I see zero issues with this. Aren't they supposed to "earn" their roster spot?

Lets be real... Kassian hasn't shown what Myers did in World Junior -- he hasn't had that supreme 'coming of age' that we saw with Myers, where he was all the talk around the junior stage. It all depends on what Kassian does at camp this Summer.

DR was already asked this while on the radio. Right from DR's answer: he has nothing to prove but is not ready for the pro's. If he ends up in JR.s they will have to give him special coaching to round out his game. Look for him to be on the 10 game contract to start the season.
For all the education and practice each of us undergoes, the achievment of mastery is ultimately the outcome of a personal quest for understanding.

Sounds good to me.
As I said a couple posts ago - I think he's ready for the AHL, but not the NHL. Seeing as he can't go to Portland, it's probably best he goes back to junior.
