I could see him as a leading candidate, but not a runaway candidate. He seems to have been built up as having a season of the ages, making him an MVP candidate. He is no Hasek.

I'm not discounting the voters/the league really wanting to make this a passing of the torch narrative from Lundqvist, and a Vezina helps to further cement this. You can almost hear the flowery prose being dusted off by the press.
