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

Might be of interest, might not: Five Thirty Eight put their NHL predictions in place, and place Buffalo 23rd overall.....6th in the Atlantic...with a -26 goal differential, a projected 83 pts. and a 22% chance of making the playoffs.
Sounds about right.

Forwards (14): Jeff Skinner-Tage Thompson-Victor Olofsson, Jack Quinn-Casey Mittelstadt-Alex Tuch, Peyton Krebs-Dylan Cozens-JJ Peterka, Zemgus Girgensons-Rasmus Asplund, Vinnie Hinostroza. Anders Bjork and the injured Kyle Okposo skated as extras.
Defense (7): Mattias Samuelsson-Rasmus Dahlin; Owen Power-Henri Jokiharju, Jacob Bryson-Ilya Lyubushkin. Casey Fitzgerald skated with Pilut on Monday and is the seventh defenseman right now.

Top line is solid. Not Cup contender good, but solid. After that, who knows? There are a lot of unproven players who may or may not be good.
If Power lives up to his potential, the top 4 D are good.
I know I'm setting an incredibly low bar with this statement, but I'll be happy if the Sabres can be in the playoff hunt until mid-March or so. Make most of the season meaningful. It would be nice if we could actually make the playoffs and give the young guys some playoff experience, even if it means getting killed in the first round. I just don't think we are there yet.
Elliot Friedman said that he believes Owen Power could have a Cale Makar existence and it's just a matter of time before he's one of the best players in the league. I have to listen to the cast for his exact quote
