Miller has completely proven why he's worth superstar money this season. Before, I thought he was good but not consistent enough to be elite, but with every passing game, he's getting closer and closer to truly deserving that "elite" label.
As far as my other favorite target, I'm replacing Vanek with Derrick Roy. While Vanek usually doesn't earn his salary and tends to hit dry spells, he's NEVER hit a slump of the same magnitude as the one Roy is in right now. I know Roy scored last night, but at the moment, he's on pace for about an 8 goal season. There are 4th line guys who produce more than that.
And this is PURE SPECULATION, but I have to wonder if maybe Roy goes out too much and trains too little. Someone posted some pics of him being ridiculously drunk, and while it's impossible to know the timing and circumstances of those pictures, they surfaced during one of his many dry spells last season. Once again this is PURE SPECULATION and I have no information to suggest that it's true other than those pics, but I'm trying to figure out how a guy with so much talent can be so good at some times and so awful at others.
And on a totally random and unrelated note, Harry Neale has become the biggest homer ever. I was listening to the game last night (stupid stream wouldn't work) and he referred to at least 3 Sabres as being amongst the league's best- Miller, Vanek and Gaustad. Come on, Harry- I like those guys too, but if they were as good as you make them sound, we would have won the last 4 Cups.
