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!

Tage is becoming a true superstar. Love seeing this on national TV. The Cozens/Quinn/peterka line is a legit 2nd line. It’s been ages since the Sabres had a true star and a 2nd line.

Should we trade for some 3rd line pieces & a super goalie now ?

Make some moves .... why the hell not?

Too little, too late for this season. But the future is promising
We’re 6 points out of a playoff spot with 56 games left / 112 possible points to be gained. We’ve outscored the entire league, by a margin. Where did we fail if we play .600 hockey ongoing for 102 points ?? Wouldn’t the new talent help us get there or better ?? We can’t play .600 while out scoring the entire league ?? You’re crapping on common sense here, this isn’t some tiny sample as well. Boston is 2nd in GF, they’re up against the cap. We have $17 Million in cap space, we need the best goalie possible & get our GA down. We wouldn’t lose if it was down 20% less. Boston has lost 3 games in regulation after 26 games, they’ve scored less than us.

First round playoff tickets with at least 3 home games would generate $12 Million minimum. We make round 2, it’s $25 Million, plus they pump next year season tickets so the chairs are filled. You try to get Bills tickets lately ?? You can’t inexpensively. There’s a market for winning, Pegs is a Billionaire & whatever is going on health wise tells me our 40 year window of stable ownership isn’t there. I’m looking at a decades plus, we need some real trophies. Some hardware, I’m not getting younger. Pull up a chair, tell me I’m wrong.
I'm a firm believer in the billy beane philosophy. 27 games to see what you have. 28 to see if you can fix it. 27 to see if it worked. Coming up to that 27 game mark.
The issue is the market hasn't settled itself. There are some good players available though.
The first rule is any firsts moved HAS to be top 10 protected. This draft is up there with 03 and 15 in terms of quality and depth.
One player I like is Matt dumba from the wild. He's 28 RHD. Hes a pending UFA and very solid. The wild can not retain him due to salary cap miscues. They might want to shed his salary to use it elsewhere. No idea what the asking price is, but I would definitely inquire if he was available, price, and willingness to extend

"Willingness to extend" is the key. The Sabres have a good young core and players seem to like Granato and Adams. But let's be realistic. We've been the dregs of the league for a decade. Have we turned the corner and become a place where players want to be? It feels like we are moving in that direction but I'm not sure we are there yet.
