My question was rhetorical, but he has been MVP-caliber for two months now. Completely turned his season around and his team's. Also, he did have the excuses of the Lucic hit and some key blue-line injuries. (I know, EVERY team deals with injuries.) Of course the winner is Malkin and the other finalists will be guys who have been bringing it all season, but Miller has been really bringing it every night at a time when Buffalo's backs were against the wall.
