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!
I expect them to improve over the course of the season. Not that they will acually be good this year, but the 4-0 and 5-0 games should go away.
I didn't see the Montreal game, but 2-1 in a shootout sounds like the d and goaltending held up. The lack of offense remains a huge problem. Stafford's overdue for his contract year hat trick.
Why do you say that? Because the Sabres were able to find deals that no GM in their right mind would pass up for guys that were leaving in free agency anyway?
And it doesn't take a genius to understand, despite the gallows humor around here, that teams can't "tank intentionally" and be guaranteed anything. The Sabres were in last place by 20 points last year and still didn't get the top pick.

thats the rub. its not like those guys were staying, so any good GM moves those guys for youth. murray actually did REALLY well last deadline.
and, as ****ty as this is, drew stafford is tied for the team lead in points. as an upcoming UFA, i hope murray can get something for him for a team looking for secondary scoring help.

the defense and goaltending is getting better, especially neuvirth. there are some positive signs here and there, but really, everyone is more focused on mcdavid and eichel. many forget the kids on the farm having strong seasons. or the fact that even though hes back in kootnay, reinhart has the making of a cornerstone forward himself. not quite at the level of the upcoming draft, but a seriously strong star player.

Just think, Islanders are way ahead of the Sabres in that dept.
