2 Sabres I always defended, Vanek and Miller. Some don't agree with that.

They got a lot of poop in an era where Darcy was running this team into the ground...Vanek and Miller were true talents that we had...so naturally Buffalonians poop on them..

Well the knock on Miller was he made 6 mill a year, if he didn't make that there would be no problem. Vanek wasn't used correctly IMO. Both are very good players, I would take both back and I'm not a fan of bringing back former players.

This.

But I wouldn't want Miller back...we are not close enough to a cup, it would be a disservice to Miller.

If, in 3 years, we are knock knock knockin on Stanley's door....I'd love Miller as a backup

EDIT: and Miller deserved 6 mil a year....playing the way he did with the bullpoop teams that darcy was putting in front of him...

I would still take Miller back now, I don't see any cup teams in need of a goalie now besides the Stars. I never had any issue with Millers pay.

Yeah I'd agree to that. Bring back Miller as a back up in his last push for a cup. I don't know how his feelings on Buffalo are though. I get the sense that he's sort of moved on from us. Not saying he hates the city or anything but he definitely acted a little like he was too big for it here towards the end of his stay

Eichel or Rinehart could probably tee up pucks for Vanek all day.
Wouldnt be a bad pick up.

If we were closer, Miller would come back without a doubt. Winning a cup is important to him but winning one here would come full circle.

That would be awesome. I'd also bring back Pommer as a 4th liner after his big deal ends in Minnesota

I never had a problem with either. Again a Red Sox fan and Yankee fan who agree.

I was never a big Pommer fan but I get what you are saying.
