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!
This is only a test
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

Buffalo and Boston discussed a trade package that would have sent Thomas Vanek to the Bruins in exchange for Seguin, multiple sources told The News on Monday. It’s not clear why the talks, held at the draft in June, fell through, but it is known the Bruins were seeking another NHL-ready player off the Sabres’ roster.
Bruce Garrioch of the Ottawa Sun also claims the Sabres tried to shop Miller to the Anaheim Ducks for prospect goalie John Gibson and a first-round pick prior to hiring new GM Tim Murray.

So it would have been Vanek and another player for Seguin? Part of me is upset with the deal but I think we got a better deal. As one has to wonder if Seguin be putting up the numbers he is in Dallas here. That said if he did they we not be as "bad" as we are right now which to me a worse situation. As I think hitting rock bottom is where this team needs to be if going to truly improve. I just hope we can get a top 6 young forward in a trade of either Miller/Ott and/or Moulson and a prospect back. Also I'm liking the Islanders recent slide and Vanek declining their offer. As it might lead to us getting another top 5 pick in this year's draft. Hopefully a top 3. As I really can't see them gambling on giving us a pick in 2015 with McDavid being out there.

Um, we fired the coach, fired his replacement, fired the GM, are currently in last place and are in danger of being the lowest scoring team in the history of the 82 game season.

What exactly is your definition of "rock bottom"?
Everything being equal in ice-hockey, mine involves the ice melting.

Being what we are now, the worst team in the NHL and hopefully end up with the top pick (or more) in the 2014 draft. Honestly as bad as this team is right now I think I'd rather see this then be where we've been before which is teetering making the playoffs or not and not have any real direction. As to me we can only get better from here and significantly better if have a solid trade deadline/offseason.

That's the only reason I'm not furious about this horrific season- I knew it had to be done.
What makes me furious is that most of us knew it had to be done 5 years ago, but instead we had to spend 5 more years with Regier teams whose ceiling was a first round playoff loss. If we had suffered this pain when we should have instead of letting Darcy harbor his delusions of being successful with Vanek, Roy and Pominville, then we'd already be competitive again.

If you got that trade, write that guy up for executive of the decade!!
