I don't think GMs look at it like that. At the end of the day, having both guys results in having depth. Plus Miller can burn out at any moment and we've seen what Kreider can do in the playoffs.
I mean really, what type of player could Kreider get us back in return right now? Another underachieving forward who needs a change of scenery at best, or maybe a guy like Drouin if we add SIGNIFCANT pieces to go along with him. - rangerdanger94
I don't know bout that. I mean if you are talking about scoring sure, happens to the superstars too. I guess for me its just showing up every game. Its why I don't give Nash crap like a lot of other people. Say what you want about Nash not scoring, but no one can criticize the guy for not busting his ass every game.

I agree with you about that. Scoring is a weird thing sometimes. With only a few exceptions (Ovechkin chief amongst them), scorers can go through periods where everything goes in, and go through other periods when nothing does. You have to look overall game, and ask whether the player is getting chances, and are they otherwise playing good hockey. Miller is playing great overall hockey right now, and I think that will continue (realizing that all players go through tough periods).

Yup. Stepan needs a really good offensive game or a shorty. I think his confidence is in the toilet right now.
Although last night, I didn't see it on the original play until the replay, he made a great play with the subtle tip under pressure that trapped the 2 Pens on the Moore goal.
