By playing this year, he will be more developed for his first year of hockey, and with a Hobey Baker to his resume, that second contract goes up.

I don't think it makes much of a difference. Especially because everyone knows he's the best player in college hockey, regardless of having a hobey baker or not. He was last year too and probably should have won, but my understanding is that it generally goes to a senior.
