I think the reasoning behind it is:
-Miller > Zaitsev
-Both are cheaper than Zaitsev, and fit into your cap issues a bit better.
-Benning is actually sneaky good-I wouldn't say that he's better than Zaitsev, but he's probably around the same level and significantly cheaper. He's probably a bottom pairing guy, but he can certainly slide up into the top 4.
Miller was a healthy scratch mainly because of the depth of D on Vegas. Aside from Theodore and Schmidt, there's no real super-studs down there, but there was a lot of good players, and Turk likes to play everyone instead of having the same guy sleep in the press box every night (ie. Leivo).
