Miller has been a huge part to this. However, the team is certainly better in front this year. We don't have that go-to scorer (though Vanek is starting to turn it on), but the goals are being spread all around. You have to give Myers a big (no pun intended) mention for the Calder. Of course, he won't have the points total of the guys you mentioned. Hell, I think he could even contend for the Norris with it being a rather down year.
Agree on most of your choices.

I only leave Ruff as a fringe vote getter because of where Phoenix and Colorado are right now.
Buffalo was seen as a, like you said, 7-10, and most likely end up 3rd.
Phoenix and Colorado were seen as #14 and 15 in the West, and could be #'s 3 and 4.
Myers has been good, but unless he has a 50+ season and Tavares is around 60, I don't see Tavares losing out.
