Apples/oranges
Miller obviously wanted to cash in knowing that 99 points is probably the high water mark
Kadri deal seems a lot better to me, especially with the free acquisition cost

Ummm, 1st+Monahan?
VAN also gets to exploit this year at 5.25M, just like we do with Huby.
Kadri deal is almost certain to end up buyout/negative value. Miller's is also likely to, though he'll be 36 until the last month of the last season (compared to Kadri turning 38 at the start of his final season), though he's got reasonable buyout protection until that last season.
Miller has missed about 12 reg season games in the last 7 seasons. Kadri has missed about 46 in that span (not including playoff suspensions/injuries)
