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 Sabres will be forced to trade EK9 in spite of him being the only one besides Jack and Poms that is producing. #1 EK9 probably doesn't want to be here. He's a party boy and Buffalo is NOT a destination. #2 We can't afford to take on another high cost long-term deal.
For as much as I like ROR, the game is RAPIDLY changing. It's all about speed and skill. ROR is NOT a speed player and is long-term at $8 mil per.
Okposo is 5 more years at $6 million. After he pots 10-15 goals this year, people are going lose patience fast. Another contract that is going to hurt for next 5 years.
Reinhart is a bust.
So outside of Poms and Eichel... this team has ZERO offense.
Riato is struggling to become a true #1 And had a multi year deal, and Lehner is complete garbage.
The Sabres aren't making the playoffs anytime in the next 3 years.
ROR, I was on the fence with him too. I realize he's a good player, but like you said, not speedy. But last night he showed his willingness to use other tools, and his game seems to be changing ever so slightly, becoming slightly meaner and using his body more. If he does, he will find a way to adapt to a faster game. The offense is starting to click again for him, and that's gonna add alot

Buffalo Sabres general manager Jason Botterill made his first appearance of the season with Schopp and the Bulldog on Friday from (716) Food and Sport.
On the Sabres slow start to the season: "Phil and his staff are trying to interact with these guys away from the rink. Figure out who needs a little bit of a pat on the back, versus who needs a harsher tone. We're showing glimpses of that type of team Phil wants to have, but consistency isn't there yet."
On former GM Tim Murray, and his favorite part of the job: "Tim was an amazing evaluator of talent. He would get out there and watch games. For myself, I enjoy that everyday I get up and it's something different. Either going to a game, or talking to an agent about a contract, or talking about the business side, or talking to the coach. Going through so many different things is what I enjoy about my side."
On contract talks with Evander Kane: "I've always had a strong relationship with his agent. I love how Phil's reached out to Evander. We said we're not going to be doing a contract right away. Evander's been focused, loves Phil's style of game. He's been effective in a lot of different roles. He's helping out team, the contract situation will take care of itself."

I ASSume you are *****ing to the Mods as usual you little ******.
I didn't before. Now, I sure am. Following me around for over a year does that. You're responsible for your own posts, and if you act like a tool, like you are, I won't lose sleep at night if it gets you into trouble. It won't be a loss or anything

His best friends wife apparently thinks he's an @$$hole. So it must be the case. As if we didn't already know this.
