the NCAA loves to give the Hobey Baker to senior players and they often tend to pass over younger guys. I remember when Drew Leblanc won it instead of Gaudreau in 2013 ... Gaudreau probably had the better season, but they still gave it to Leblanc (a senior that year). Last year, Eichel was the first freshman to win it since 1993.
But yeah, in either case it's pretty crazy that Connor didn't win it.
