Jamie Benn or Todd Bertuzzi?

Bertuzzi's peak was incredible but Benn also had a pretty high peak during some years where it was really hard to score.

After the Code red occurred literally nothing Bertuzzi did prior or after mattered. Bro is McSorley 2.0 and i hope karma finds him some day.
Benn without a second thought!

And Bert in 01-02 was even better in the second half of the year and led the league in points per game. Given the competition, Benn’s Art Ross wasn’t much different than a 3-5 place finish a lot of years.

Not really, the year before Benn's Art Ross, Sidney had 104 points and Getzlaf was second with 87 points. The year after Benn won Kane finished first with 106 points and Benn finished second with 89.
Scoring started going up two years after Benn won the Art Ross.
Benn’s Art Ross was in line with the 2nd place finishers in surrounding years, but all those years 2nd place finishes were weak finishes that were far back of the Art Ross winner. For example, Draisaitl is currently scoring 28% more than the 10th place scorer, and over the past 6 years before that the 2nd place finisher has had leads over 10th place of 43%, 25%, 18%, 35%, 24% and 21%.
Benn’s win had him finish 19% over 10th and his 2nd place finish in ‘16 saw him finish 15% over 10th. Getzlaf was at 10% in ‘14, and Tavares, who finished 2nd in Benn’s win was at 18%. Those 2nd place finishes were quite low.
Meanwhile, Bertuzzi finished 5th in ‘03 but was 14% above 10th place in scoring.
