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

Sabres acquire rights to Vesey for 3rd Rounder in 2016
Re: Sabres acquire rights to Vesey for 3rd Rounder in 2016
Signing Vesey is a long shot, just as it's a long shot for him to be an impact player in the bigs. But dropping a 3rd rounder for him is worth it IMHO.
I'd bet dollars to donuts he signs with Boston. Lotsa luck. That ship is sinking while the Sabres are just gathering steam.
Still, if I was in his shoes, I'd want to play in my hometown too, but I'm a sucker for loyalty.
And things could change in the next 40 something days that he might elect to sign here. Maybe more talks with Eichel will convince him. I get he feels he wants to sign with his hometown team in Boston but if the kid is as smart as one would think his Harvard education would a lot him a team like Buffalo that seems to be on it's way up makes more sense. Of course if he wants to reunite with his dad and brother in Toronto that's another story but to me that's too much pressure on him to succeed IMO. Of course I'm a biased Sabres fan and want him here.
That's certainly true. The Sabres get the inside edge now that they are the only team that can talk to Vesey. It may not be enough, but it's worth a shot. Faint heart never won fair lady.

Murray didn't sound too confident about being able to sign him in today's presser. Considering the value of a third rounder in the NHL and Buffalo having four of them to play with, it's still worth the risk and effort.

Murray said it was a gamble. This player is not going to be looked upon in a very good light by any team if he shuns two NHL teams that tried to sign him.

It's just odd that his agent keeps saying he wants to explore UFA. I mean if he really wants to play for one specific team you'd think he'd tell his agent to maybe get his rights traded there instead of alienating himself to fans and possible future GMs. That said his situation kinda reminds me of the Drouin in Tampa and that seems to have died down.
