As much as Backlund deserves consideration, I wouldn't be surprised if the Selke goes to one of the "usual suspects" OR a Teammate of a "usual suspect"...I was quite surprised to hear, during the Bruins'/'Hawks' game, that the Boston TV guys were proposing Anisimov, as a Selke candidate...also, on the 'Hawks, Hossa gets a lot of props for his relentless backchecking...I am NOT saying that those two would win the Selke, but, when opponent TV guys tout the possibility of those alternate candidates, especially TV guys from the opposite conference, then there IS a buzz for those particular players.
