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!
Stars get Derek Roy from Buffalo in trade for Steve Ott and Adam Pardy. There is your top-six center to take Ribeiro’s place.

Steve Ott won't score for #Sabres like Derek Roy did, but he's a polar opposite in terms of passion, snarl and follow-me leadership.

I love seeing them get some toughness on the team. Ott is a guy with great intensity that will stick up for his teammates and can still contribute offensively. Don't know much about Pardy. Looks like a big guy.
Ott is what we hoped Kassian could of become. I think the trade at deadline and this one the Sabres are a better team. I'd take Hodgson/Ott over Kassian/Roy any day.

its not dereks fault hes a finesse guy on a team with little heart and less toughness. on a team that could allow him to do what hes best at i think hes close to a point a game player on a consistent basis
still, it wasnt working here for him and something needed to change. seems like they got less than they could have for him, but if they are going to get less than optimal value then ott is a very nice consolation prize. if ott can just get stafford to grow some balls it will have been worth it
