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

The makeup of the extension is interesting. According to Sportsnet’s Elliotte Friedman, all seven years come with a $1 million salary and the rest coming via signing bonuses. So O’Reilly protects himself from escrow and with all the bonus money, a buyout, sort of like what we saw with David Clarkson’s deal with the Maple Leafs.
The Avalanche were never going to be able to meet O’Reilly’s contract demands, so they found him a nice landing spot with the Sabres during Draft weekend. And if you want to blame anyone for O’Reilly’s $7.5 million cap hit, blame the Calgary Flames, who signed him to that giant offer-sheet in 2013, which was the beginning of the end for his time with Colorado.
That sound you just heard was Steven Stamkos laughing as he envisions the giant pile of money he’ll receive once he signs his extension.
Murray has steered this ship almost as flawlessly as can be possible. I think he has earned the benefit of the doubt, but if in 2 years we aren't geared up and going then that will be a problem. Until then, relax people.
ROR is a very good #2 center, He's not a $7.5m dollar hockey player, No matter how much sugar you try and put on it.
He's just below Derek Stepan, And Stepans not worth $7m no matter how much sugar you put on it.
It screwed the Rangers real good as well, which I think is fantastic. ROR is mature beyond his years & is probably going to get better, especially with who he'll have around him.
In all reality he will probably be the #1. Maybe not on paper but I bet he takes the big draws over Eichel as he learns.
I'm talking long term. Hell, ROR might end up being our wing down the line if Reinhart develops into a first line center like he is projected to potentially be.

Stepan has 2 options, Sign it, Or pack your ****, Rangers have plenty of #2 Centers on the roster (Hayes and Brassard), No need for a $7m second liner.
When you're not a competitive team, The salary cap is not something you have to think about.
ROR's contract was the death nail for Reinhart...Not Stepan.
