Was this meant to disprove anything I said?
Winning 2 art ross versus one is more trivia than an argument about being the better player (exact end of any specific season total point ranking is not really important, it is just to have something to follow has fan's), same goes for leading your team in scoring in playoff the year they win he cup versus an other year and winning cups at all.
Those argument for having a better career, not about being the better player.
Forsberg offensive production is really close to Malkin (it is a bit above in raw ppg and among peer) while being one of the 2 way force of is era with some of the best R/on, R/off figure of all time, it is hard to say that Malkin is an obvious tier above him and there is no conversation.
Malkin career should end up being a better one than Forsberg (arguably already is, but Forsberg has is olympic gold stamp moment has well in there and world junior record breaking video games type of stats), that different to which in their prime where the better at playing hockey, Forsberg is a should/would in term of career accomplishment but has a large enough sample size of competitive game to have a good idea at how good he was at hockey.
