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

Murray took over the team with an eye on the 2015 draft, Like I said earlier, We will never know what happened with the guy who hired him and the direction he wanted to see the team go in because he has a gag order on him.
Murray could have re tooled the roster, But he want's to show the world how smart he is.
The Rangers played for the cup last year and they are currently in 1st place in the NHL because they trade for proven roster players.
Not draft picks that have a 50-50 shot at best of making it in the NHL, Draft picks are usually 3-5 years away from doing much if at all.
they didn't win. Who cares?

I'm just letting you know that you have been given 2 points for telling Wys AKA Mark to kill himself.
I tell you what, It sure as hell is a lot more fun watching your team play for the cup (Not that you would know, But try to imagine it) win or loose than it is watching them play for a lotto pick.
How would I not know? I saw our last finals. The put of more of a fight than the Rangers did last year. You're telling me you enjoyed that slaughtering?

OK, there are a couple of things that are wrong here from different people
The core of Pominville, Vanek, Stafford, Miller, etc. did more than just 2 8 seeds. They won the Northeast too. Still lost in round 1, but just for accuracy’s sake they did more than just squeak in
Now for FloFlo
Yes – the Sabres talked to Miller and he wasn’t interested in a rebuild
They got more than garbage players for Pominville. Larsson will very possibly be a solid 3rd line guy or 4th line player who can move up when there is injury. They also got the pick who turned in Zadarov. In the Vanek deal, which was very good for Buffalo, the Sabres got Moulson who was moved last year and also got the Islanders 1st round pick this year. Come on man – if you’re going to knock them at least try to be a little accurate. Don’t be obtuse.
Myers ELC was up and they needed to sign him to a deal. Maybe the deal they signed was too much, but his ELC was not fine because it expired.
Your biggest problem is that you’re so wrapped up in ripping them that you don’t let facts get in your way. There is certainly a lot of room to bash them. You don’t need to invent ones that don’t exist.
What's the fascination with bashing the worst team last year and this year ?? Reality of the matter is the bad teams get good picks and we're bad, so what's the problem ?? Someone has to make the first few picks, might as well be Buffalo.
The Sabres haven't focused on getting good this year and have a very young team, they'll get better and add talent (some generational). Then you can come back for your return abuse, which we will be glad to provide. Until then, GO F-Yourself.
The Sabres used the last two seasons to dump garbage players (and their contracts), stockpile draft picks and let young guys get experience. They aren't the first team to do it and they won't be the last.
The only difference is that this year, there are two top prospects at the head of the draft, and the lottery system guarantees one of them to the team that finishes 30th. So, tanking this year is a better bet than tanking in most seasons.
Not all of the players they dumped were garbage - many were good players who had expiring deals. (For the life of me,the Pominvill hate is amongst the dumbest thing in this forum. He wasn't a physical player, so Buffalo fans go nuts and act like he wasn't a hard worker and the same stupid blue collar bull **** that runs through this city, but I digress).
Regardless, the idea of dumping pending FA's is common It's what teams do.
Did the Sabres fall farther down than many teams? For sure. But the concept is the same, not how much people want to spin it
What I don't get is the bashing of buffalo, saying no one wants to play here, then turning around and slamming the Sabres for not attracting free agents.
Simply saying "I'd sign free agents" isn't the way it goes.
