It's not surprising with Grier getting the GM job there.

Or with Miller living in California

Miller is in SoCal and Vanek is staying in Minnesota. I doubt location was as big of a factor as the prior relationship with Grier.

Kyle Okposo, Sabres get a jump-start on team bonding with a Bills road trip

Okposo believes the Sabres' culture is changing, and organized the team trip in an effort to make sure that culture doesn't slip early on.

When Kyle Okposo signed a one-year contract to return to the Buffalo Sabres, he did so with a serious belief that this team can contend for more than just a spot in the playoffs.

So as training camp approached, Okposo had an idea. Rather than wait for the beginning of the season to get the team-building process started, he wanted to start things early this year. He and his wife organized a team trip down to the Buffalo Bills’ Week 1 game against the New York Jets at MetLife Stadium.

“I wanted to get us together so that when we hit the ground running in camp there wasn’t a bonding process that needed to happen,” Okposo said. “When we hit camp, it’s full go. The last few years have been about building bonds, setting a foundation and finding our identity throughout the season.”

Okposo is a gem. Glad he's around for one more year and he'll happily accept any role the team asks of him.
