Buffalo Sabres hire longtime former player Milan Lucic as a pro scout

Former NHL player Milan Lucic has gone from being a one-time Buffalo Sabres' antagonist to landing a job as a pro scout, the team announced as part of a series of hirings and promotions on Tuesday. Lucic joins the Sabres weeks after announcing his retirement in ending a 17-year NHL career. The 38-year-old spent his first eight seasons with Boston, where Lucic won a Stanley Cup in 2011.
