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

I believe the chart was done by the hockey news. I'm expecting a step backwards myself
Why? The D has improved and that will help Lehner, who was already playing well. I'm not a fan of Pommers, but he's a mild improvement over Ennis. And all the young guys should take a step forward. And the coach and players being on the same page helps.
I'm not saying this team doesn't have holes or that they're Cup contenders. But I see no reason why they can't improve on last season and snag a 7 or 8 seed.

Shallow wings and the d is still weak. Alot of young players need to improve at the same time to do that. They still need major help
If I had to guess where the Sabres will be in 2020, I would say Quebec City.
Carolina has a better chance of landing in Quebec City than the Sabres do. Or WILL. Hell, Arizona has a better chance!
(And the irony of one of the former WHA/NHL teams landing in ANOTHER WHA/NHL market is not lost on me.)

That was true last year, and I'd argue that we will be better on the wings with the young guys having a year to improve and Pommers being healthy. And while the D is still weak, it's improved over last year.
I agree they need help but I still say they can take a step forward over last year.

I don't see the Sabres moving. First, Pegula didn't invest in Harborcenter and all the improvements to the arena just to pick up and move. Second, the Sabres get good support even when they aren't winning. There are plenty of markets that struggle to get support even when they are winning: Carolina, Florida, Arizona come immediately to mind (although Arizona is probably safe because they are trying to correct the east-west imbalance and moving a western team east is only going to make it worse).

But he does add that this is a best-case scenario.
