Pretty good overview. Unfortunately for Crosby, his Hart, Richard, Art Ross and Pearson trophies probably prevent anyone from voting for him which is a shame. I don't agree sv%rel is at all useful in evaluating skaters as it doesn't appear to be a skill that one can influence
Backlund is as you noted not in the same league as Bergeron defensively, but the reverse is true offensively.
I think Kesler wins it as he's been dominant both ways.
