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

Who should the Sabres trade for at the deadline to help improve the roster?
Re: Who should the Sabres trade for at the deadline to help improve the roster?
They Sabres are only 1.8 million under the cap. If they trade for Whitney, they will need to move somebody making significant money (i.e. Ellis, Mair, Paestch do not make enough) like Lydman.
I like the idea of Stajan from the Leafs. Good center and he only makes 1.7 million. After the trade deadline there is no cap so they could still call players up as needed.
Move picks for him and maybe a mid level prospect like Gogulla.

I'd be fine moving Lydman...
For all the education and practice each of us undergoes, the achievment of mastery is ultimately the outcome of a personal quest for understanding.
Re: Who should the Sabres trade for at the deadline to help improve the roster?
Don't trade any top prospects if possible. Definitely don't trade Tyler Myers EVER! Beyond that I don't have any emotional attachment to anyone else except maybe Connolly. For the right trade any of the others could be moved IMO.
Re: Who should the Sabres trade for at the deadline to help improve the roster?
Doubt the Islanders move Roloson.
They will definitely be moving Biron. He wouldn't want to stay in Buffalo because he wants to play 50 or so games, but for a short term rental (Lalime is up at the end of year) I'm all for bringing him in to give Miller a break. That Anaheim game crushed my confidence in Lalime.

Biron hasn't been that good though.

Biron hasn't been that good, plus I don't think he wants to be relegated to simply a back-up role....I think he still wants a chance at being #1 somewhere.

Sabres would only be responsible for the prorated portion of an acquired players' salary. Thus, the Sabres could trade for a player with a cap hit of approx. $4 million and not move anyone.
Re: Who should the Sabres trade for at the deadline to help improve the roster?
I would love it if we could pick up Lobomir Visnovsky, but i really doubt we could get him for just draft picks. He's a damn good player and Edmonton knows it. The only reason the rest of the league doesn't realize it is because he plays in Edmonton. However, we could never fit him under the cap, he's locked up for the next few years and I'm not exactly sure how much, but i think its a 5.5 mil cap hit. Still, he would be a great top d-man next to Myers.

Not true at all.
NHL teams need to be under the cap at all times until after the trade deadline. While it is true they are only responsible for part of the salary, the cap figure of ~$55 million is based on projecting what the players on the big league roster.
They can only fit about 1.8 million on the team right now
