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
Richards is either gonna end up a Ranger, Sabre or Leaf. It wouldn't surprise me if he mulls the offers from each team and doesn't decide til either later tonight or tomorrow to decide where he's gonna play.
I think all 3 teams have a legitimate shot at him with a slight edge to NY due to his former coach being there. All 3 will give him the money he wants.

I agree on the top 3. I think we offer more than anyone else and that may push him to us.

They arleady said his plan was to meet with all GMs/look over all deals, narrow them down based on the criteria he already put out, sleep on it, then make a final decision by July 4th.

The bad part of that is the teams that lose out on him who think they do have a legit shot at bringing him in are not gonna get any FA Center upgrade. And even worse there are no premier centers who are gonna be eligible for FA next season.

that's horse ****.
I realize it's a huge decision for him, but he's going to make ridiculous money wherever he goes, and he's holding teams hostage by doing this.

I think we will know tonight. He's known this was coming, he knows what he does and doesn't want. The contract is really what isn't a known and even with that he probably has an idea.

I hope so.
If we can't get Richards, I don't want to miss a chance to sign Talbot or some other center because we were waiting for Richards to respond.
Re: Official July 1 Free Agency thread - Sabres news
i'd bet he signs with someone by the end of the day.... just like drury and briere did a few years ago... take the time to see whats out there, and make your move, he's likely already got his mind made up, just gonna wait to see if someone changes it for him
