Right or wrong (I think it's wrong), there isn't a recent track record of players winning the trophy unless they are putting up big offensive numbers as well.
The closest thing I can recall is Bergeron winning it in 2017 with only 53 points scored. I would imagine Backlund would need to be close to those numbers to get serious consideration this year despite his excellence in the other 2 zones.
