Neale leaving Leafs for Buffalo job

WILLIAM HOUSTON

From Monday's Globe and Mail

Hockey commentator Harry Neale is leaving Leafs TV in Toronto to take a game analysis job with the Buffalo Sabres.

Neale's decision to leave the Toronto Maple Leaf regional telecasts is expected to be announced on Monday.

His replacement will be Greg Millen, who is already working for Leafs TV, but will now move into the No.1 spot as the lead game analyst.

Neale, 70, will continue to appear on Hockey Night in Canada, although his workload this season has been reduced.

Neale, who lives in the Buffalo area, will replace Jim Lorentz, who announced last week he was retiring as a commentator on Sabres' broadcasts carried on the MSG Network and WGR Radio.

Sources say Millen has renegotiated his contract with Leafs TV. His new deal is three years in length.
