Let's take a look:

Dustin Byfuglien - Consecutive 53 point seasons, the most recent one being in 66 games (a 66 point pace over a full season).
Drew Doughty - Career high of 59 points and just coming off a playoff series where he posted 16 points in 20 games (66 point pace over a full-season)
Weber - Career high 53, averaged 48.5 points past two seasons.
Pietrangelo - Career high 51 (last season).

Not saying Pietrangelo shouldn't garner some votes but looking purely at proven performance this should worst case scenario be a 2-man or 3-man race, not a homerun for the young guy.
