2003 Forsberg.

Forsberg in 2002-03 and Brodeur in 1996-97 are two of my favorite remaining options.

Curious why people are picking St Louis over Forsberg. Back to back years, so should be easy to compare.

106 points to 94 points.
+52 to +35
Both won the Hart, and Ross
St Louis did win the Pearson that Forsberg did not - but i've always heard that Pearson is often voted by players a few weeks before season ends. Forsberg made a late surge in the scoring race and only won it on last day - so could explain why many players would have voted for Naslund. Considering we're comparing seasons as a whole with the full picture - not sure how much of an advantage that should give St Louis.

if we included playoffs - St Louis is the obvious winner. Pretty sure we're only looking at regular season though, and if so this seems like advantage Forsberg.

St. Louis won an extra major trophy (Pearson) and had better Hart votings, which was the tie-breaker for me.
