I actually think it should be Ghost. 46 points in 64 games is fairly obscene, and it wasn't because of injury that he didn't play the full 82... it was because he didn't get called up for the start of the season and didn't even get a chance until Streit went down. Even more impressive to dominate like that when you weren't even expected to play. I mean, that's a 60 point pace... usually 60 points is enough to win the Calder as a forward, much less a defenseman.
Panarin obviously wins the points race, but let's be honest, if he's playing with anyone other than Kane he's probably 20 points lower.
