But maybe that's the premium for getting him to put down roots in VAN.

Since joining VAN at age 26 and becoming a 20min guy Miller has 217 pts in 202gp. He's a bit of a later bloomer, but he was generally down the depth chart in his age 22-25 years behind a bunch of guys more in their prime on both NYR/TBL.

Kadri's teams were generally worse as he came to age, but there wasn't as much holding him down (Bozak...Grabovski). Of course, as Kadri turned 26 along came Matthews (, but I don't know if depth chart/deployment was really a valid excuse until Tavares came along as Kadri turned 28.


I'd say there's a much higher chance that Miller sustains his offensive production for years to come, but of course Kadri is a better 2-way player.
