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!
BREAKING NEWS - Biron Traded To Philly, Conklin Aq From CBJ
I gotta think something else is in the works here maybe a deal for Jokinen or Tuzzi?
Darcy only makes a deal if he can win it, im thinking Guerin. You now have a extra draft pick to throw at them for a rental. Maybe A.Miller, they may still need to make room. This is just a tip of the ice berg. Its go time

Conklin makes $525,000, so we've cleared about about $1.6 million. Add Gaustad and Connolly, and we've gotta have over $5 million available. (although I'm not sure what Connolly's status is as of yesterday)

“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.
(WGR 550) - The Buffalo Sabres have sent goaltender Martin Biron to the Philadelphia Flyers in exchange for a second-round pick, and sent a fifth-round pick to Columbus for netminder Ty Conklin.
Biron was 12-4-1 for Buffalo in 2006-07, posting a 3.04 goals against average. His hit to the salary cap is $2.2 million, as opposed to Conklin's, whose hit is $525,000.
Conklin was 2-3-2 with a 3.23 goals against average this season, but played for the Western Conference champion Edmonton Oilers in 2005-06. For his career, Conklin is 29-22-4-3, with a 2.60 goals against average and .901 save percentage.
Yeah, If we didn't trade him, we'd get nothing for him, now we free up 2.2 Million in cap space, and get draft picks for him. Sabres Also Sent a Pick and Brought in Ty Conklin from Columbus, And My Sources Say they aren't finished.
