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
it goes both ways. if the system is all praise to you, you should feel wanted. and lastly, it's not about money. he is capped at just under $1MM as a rookie. sabres can afford it. it's his choice. if family or hometown is more important to him, then there isnothing the sabres can offer to change his mind. but if he wants to contend and be a meaningful player for an interesting run at the ground floor, buffalo is the easy choice. and he's got his pal telling him the same thing. if Vesey tells us to screw off, he will easily be one of the most hated players.

I would laugh if he wastes away in Boston's rebuild while the Sabres win a Cup.
The Sabres made their promotional pitch. Jimmy Vesey liked what he heard.
The next step requires something that’s often in short supply: patience.
Buffalo General Manager Tim Murray, coach Dan Bylsma and Jerry Forton, the assistant director of scouting who has a prior relationship with Vesey, met with the prospect Thursday in Boston. They didn’t demand to know whether he’ll sign before becoming an unrestricted free agent Aug. 15. They just wanted to show Vesey what the organization is all about.
Jerry is a friend from the old neighborhood and he was the goalie on varsity soccer with me at Canisius HS. I thought he got canned by the Sabres a while ago but I guess they brought him back.

The kid is a big signing in the larger scheme of things... opens up the possibility to trade for someone like Fowler or Bishop and really go for it THIS year.
We have Girgs, Ennis, a 2017 1st round pick and (2) 2017 2nd round picks as trade pieces.
miss out on Vessey and we're still a top 6 LW shy... and does that open up a Nash scenario later in the summer?

And finally, if I'm GMTM, I check out brandon pirri. 80 points in 166 career games. Bout 39 points over the course of a full season. He's a UFA. plays left wing. If vesey doesn't sign.... he's a middle 6 winger would could help your depth. Just a thought

Good stats and still young at 25. The only concern is his ability to avoid injury. Yet if looking for a one/two year stop gap I'd roll the dice. Yes that a hint he could also be Las Vegas bound though looking over our roster Larsson could be the odd man out too.
