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!
Re: Official July 1 Free Agency thread - Sabres news
% chance we land Richards? Give me your take.
I'm saying 75%. I think we make the highest bid and it puts the race between us and the Rangers. I leave a 25% chance that Richards takes less money to go to NYC and be with his ex coach. To me that's the only way, I think the teams are pretty equal now talent wise.

Richards wants:
A. Around 55Mill/8Yrs,
B. Small Market Club
C. Stable Ownership
D. Cup Contender
E. Young Team
So:
Buffalo 80%, A.B.C.D.E
NYR 10%, A.C.E.
Toronto 5%, A.E.
Philly 5%, D.E.
how are the Sabres a Cup contender? We still have no true center and lack scoring. The improvements on D will help, but that's not enough to truly make us a contender on their own.

Richards is the true center. He fills in that piece.
And they are not lacking scoring. They were in the top 10 of the NHL last year.

I seriously hope that's what happens to us....
It would be great to see you guys win a cup, as fans you deserve it.
I remember that one fateful day when Coach took me aside. I knew what was coming. "You don't have to tell me," I said. "I'm off the team, aren't I?" "Well," said Coach, "you never were really ON the team. You made that uniform you're wearing out of rags and towels, and your helmet is a toy space helmet. You show up at practice and then either steal the ball and make us chase you to get it back, or you try to tackle people at inappropriate times."
It was all true what he was saying. And yet, I thought something is brewing inside the head of this Coach.
He sees something in me, some kind of raw talent that he can mold. But that's when I felt the handcuffs go on.
Re: Official July 1 Free Agency thread - Sabres news
Where are the typical Billszone posts like, I saw Richards at the buffalo airport and my cousin the limo driver tok him to Hsbc? This free agency feels weird.

I think we are set on D for a while.....
