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!

I absolutey Murray, he's everything a GM should be! he doesn't dance around the questions and make up excuses he says it like it is #Sabresfutureisbright
He's not going to say publicly that this is a 5 year rebuild because that's basically admitting to the fans that we will suck for 5 years.
The Sabres are below the cap floor and have to spend in FA, especially if they make Leino a compliance buyout (which HAS to be done). So MAYBE that could speed up the time frame slightly. But this team is so bad that even getting the top 3 FA's available this year won't make us competitive.
It's going to take time. I don't like it, but it is what it is.

its going to take time, but the sabres cupboard is filled with prospects. things look dark now, but i think we will be pleasantly surprised sooner rather then later.
We got jammed in the lottery, worst team with the least amount of goals ever picking 2nd ? Sounds like a complete joke which we are right now.
second is just fine. if the sabres won the lottery, they would have taken ekblad. the thing is, they dont need ekblad. but, if ekblad falls to them at 2, it makes the pick more justified and look better, like a steal. and if they dont get ekblad, but reinhart or bennett because ekblad is taken, then the sabres get a future top 6 forward (at worst, i expect both of those forwards to spend large parts of their career on the first line) to add to the cupboard of impressive prospects they already have.
theres also people who believe that for the oilers, its ekblad or bust. so if ekblad goes number 1, edmontons first could be had. just something to consider if thats true.

Are you saying the oilers would give the Panthers their 2015 1st rounder to Florida to go from 3rd to 1st?

I think he meant that if Ekblad doesn't go #1, the Oilers will sell the farm to move up and get him, but I'm not sure. I'm kind of tired of stockpiling picks anyway. At some point we need proven talent.

and yet the top prospect in the draft is a defenseman. Sure it hurts losing the chance at the top spot but I think getting one of the "Sam's" will do the Sabres well. I'm leaning toward Reinhart.

Let Leino go, sign UFA Paul Statsny to a mega deal and give Stewart a raise to get and a veteran "backup" goalie us to the cap floor and do little else that way we still have a shot at McDavid or Eichel.

We don't have a shot at McDavid. Even if we are last again next year, the NHL is just going to give it to some Southern team where the fans don't show up, like they did this year.
