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 was almost invisible down the stretch. He had 29 goals but was AWOL in November and December. He's $5 mil against the books next year with little trade value.
Was it worth keeping him at the trade deadline? I think not.
For all the education and practice each of us undergoes, the achievment of mastery is ultimately the outcome of a personal quest for understanding.
What were you going to get for Satan? You'd have to trade him to a team with money making the push for the playoffs, so in return you'd get nothing of value from their current roster. Prospects and picks. No thanks.
The off season is the time to get rid of him, but the new CBA may tie your hands there too.
Dozer, this is Buffalo, In the same breath, people will call the Radio shows and say, "we need to get rid of this Satan, but we need a goal scorer" Not you Eb!
29 goals in a good amount in today's NHL! But most players that good have some attitude problems.
Like I said, it's a Buffalo thing, for some reason, this town hates the superstars! Most people hated Jim Kelly, they loved *****ing about Bruce Smith and couldn't wait to get Hasek out of town!
It could drive me to drink.
Not you Eb, I don't want to put words in your mouth, I'm talking about the Radio guys and the guys that call the Radio guys, and the guys that buy into everything the radio guys say!

I just think his time in Buffalo is done and that it is time to get something back for him because at the end of the deal he can walk.

It's a good point. And if we could get something good for him, and it came down to trading him or losing him to FA, I'd do it. But if we're going to get a couple of 18 year old kids, I'm not up for the deal. I'd rather have him play next year, pump in his 25-30 goals, hopefully help us get into the playoffs and then let him go.
That being said, if they change the CBA, get a cap, Start revenue sharing, it may be easier to resign him after his deal is up? Who knows what the lockout will bring?

Yes...I would keep Satan over getting another Pyatt and Connolly.

I agree with pyrrhonist. He contributed for most of the season, and just got in the scoring slump at the end. Although he appeared to have some attitude problems (e.g. the "call me" hand signal in the Toronto game) I think that was partly because he was told they were trying to trade him. I'm glad we kept him. I think with a veteran like him, and our new guys (Drury and Briere were great this season, as far as I'm concerned), we should be in good position next year. Don't forget, we were up a creek last year, bankrupt, possibly folding.. that was just ONE year ago! And we almost made the playoffs. Down with the Island!
