Your list is better flipped to be honest
Freshmen or Sophomores to win the Hobey Baker since 2015
-2015 Jack Eichel F Fr
-2019 Cale Makar D So
-2021 Cole Caufield F So.
-2023 Adam Fantilli F Fr.
-2024 Macklin Celebrini F Fr.
I know which group of players I'm going with.

I believe that's TheScorpion's whole point. Players who win the Hobey Baker as upperclassmen, especially seniors, usually don't amount to much as NHLers.
