By principle, if a grouping is tight the votes will be fairly evenly distributed. I'm not arguing with you that's it's not a tight grouping, but the voting shows that people perceive it differently.

It also supports the reoccuring mentality of many fantasy hockey people of potential > proven. Byfuglien has hit 53 twice and was on pace for 66 last year. Doughty has hit 59 and had amazing playoff stats. Pietrangelo is a stud and still has room to grow, but his career high is still 51 points. Logic dictates that if someone/something has already proven they can achieve something, that they're more likely to be able to achieve it again than someone/something that hasn't. Yet this thinking completely goes out the window at times it seems.
