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

tear-down mode over... transitioning from rebuild to build
Re: tear-down mode over... transitioning from rebuild to build
well, now that everyone has finished their axe grinding, what areas do the sabres have to focus on going forward to build? they have loads of defensive and center chips to use, but seem light on the wings and in goal, IMO.
Re: tear-down mode over... transitioning from rebuild to build
Of course the tear down is over. There is nothing left of value except Kane and Bogosian. No more big contracts, no more Regier holdovers except a few who actually pull their weight, like Ennis and Ellis (not that Ellis is great but he fills his 4th line roll well).

I agree in terms of prospects but it's tough to say until these guys get ice time and prove their worth.

the same three posters saying the same thing over and over again. it is so boring to read the sabres zone with spiked, floflo and coastal on autorepeat.

What keeps you from posting?? Join in, Put up some counter points.
Not sure if you noticed, Maybe you have, NO ONE post here, This section is a ghost town.
Without us 3, JATM would be talking to himself.
I bet 50 million of you show up on Draft day tho to proclaim how awesome the Sabres are.
Re: tear-down mode over... transitioning from rebuild to build
every team rebuilds. Players age out. the sabres went extreme and sold the farm after a horrible start last year which resulted in the firing of the coach who was just hired the year before.
hockey is a business. other businesses in bad years elect to take charges so all the bad news is grouped together. that's what the sabres have done.
The sabres previous mode of operation pre pegula was to sneak in to the playoffs in the 7-8 spot and pray you are the hot team. it worked twice in 99 and 2000.
They also tried to go all free agents and fire up the fan base but have a grouping of players who don't meld together (sounds a little like the current bills plan). and that backfired terribly.
So as you end the year on a fire sale last year, and you know you have a good draft and not a lot of good free agents, you think a team owes it to you to go pick up some crappy players? murray and co should check in with spiked and floflo? "hey, we can save the cap money, get a top prospect and then have money to get free agents. also our prospect pool will have had a year to develop without being rushed. we know that doesn't guarantee anything, but we believe that will the fastest way to have a relevant team. Are the message board warriors ok with our approach, or should we scrap our plan?"
literally every post follows the same snide remarks. that could be why the sabres section is dead
