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

zach hyman, hobey baker finalist for go blue, reportedly told the florida panthers he will not sign with them and will become a UFA this summer (August)
Jim Matheson of the Edmonton Journal: The Penguins should listen to offers on Evgeni Malkin this off-season.Can’t see Dave Tippett being too happy in Arizona. Maybe there is a “mutual” parting of ways. He has a history with Flyers president Paul Holmgren.
Stars coach Lindy Ruff isn’t a huge fan of Kari Lehtonen. The Stars will likely test the trade waters with Lehtonen. He has three-years at $5.9 million per left on his deal. They could offer him to “middle-of-the-road” teams like the Oilers and Sabres?
Matt O’Conner will visit the Oilers this weekend.
The Oilers should keep their eye on Wild defenseman Jared Spurgeon. Spurgeon has a year left at $3.6 million and will be a RFA afterwords. The emergence of Matt Dumba and the potential of Spurgeon wanting $4.5 million, might make him available. The Hurricanes might also be interested in him.
The Oilers might be interested in bringing Derek Roy back in case Leon Draisaitl starts the year in the AHL, but they won’t be offering Roy more than a one-year deal.
The Oilers would love to be able to draft Timo Meier with the pick they got from the Penguins, but scouts can’t see him still being on the board when they pick.
Joe Haggerty of CSNNE: The Bruins should explore trading one of Zdeno Chara or Dennis Seidenberg. Chara has a no-movement clause and three-years left at a $6.9 million cap hit. Would Chara be more willing to move now that Chiarelli is gone? Seidenberg has a couple years left on his deal and is capable of playing heavy minutes. There is some talk that maybe the Oilers would try to sign Dougie Hamilton to an offer sheet. The Bruins would have to match it – from the Oilers or anyone else.
John Vogl of the Buffalo News: Cody Hodgson had a disappointing season and is hoping for a second chance, but it’s not certain that he will get one with the Sabres. The 25-year old is two years into his six-year, $25.5 million deal. Since he’s still under 26-years old, his buyout would only be one-third of his salary and not two-thirds. A buyout would then only cost the Sabres $6.27 million.
