The 2022 NCAA Hobey Baker Award Memorial Award winner is a goaltender named Dryden McKay – who might not even get a proper shot with an NHL organization.

The last time a goalie won the Hobey Baker Memorial Award was in 2001, when Ryan Miller – ever heard of him? – won it after his junior year at Michigan State University. It’s only the third time in NCAA history the award has gone to a netminder.

Yet the feeling I get is that McKay, who was named after Hall of Fame goaltender Ken Dryden, is probably going to be overlooked by NHL teams. He’s listed at 5-foot-11 and is 24 years old. Those are both big strikes against the Downers Grove, Ill., native if you’re looking through the eyes of NHL management.

Maybe a team gives him an NHL contract. All he’s done at Minnesota State is win. But he’s undersized and the clock is ticking. And he’s been insulated by the team in front of him.

I talked with a few people today that have a similar feeling: that McKay might have to go to Europe or accept an AHL contract to start his pro career. After an NCAA tenure featuring 113 wins and 34 shutouts, what else could McKay do to prove his worth? The sad reality is that there’s a six-foot-tall glass ceiling for NHL goaltending prospects.

He won the Hobey Baker, but they say his workload was extremely light (didn't face a lot of shots or high quality shots) and was basically given the award to recognize his body of work in the 4 years he was in college.

That being said, couldn't hurt to try and sign him.

they already have a too short goalie in their system


Seriously though, what do they have to lose by giving this kid a shot?

send a carrier pigeon over seas to Strauss Mann as well and see if he is interested. but then we need to find someone with NHL experience.

Sign him

Re-sign Anderson to be the third goalie

Re-sign pysser who can be both an extra forward and defenseman as needed which saves a roster spot

Profit

An ill timed injury to him and Anderson in the fall could sink the season before Thanksgiving. They'd be nuts to roll this duo back out next year

If are top 4 play like that consistently we are in very very good shape. Now get Johnson signed and looking very nice.

And it was against one of the top offenses in the league.

Not against the Sabres they aren't

10 goals in 4 games sucks; and half came in one game
