When does Hobey Baker Award voting end

When Lane Hutson wins it

But hes not on this years ballot

Believe the NHL prospects rn for it are Knies, Faber, Hughes, Levi, LaCombe and Wise. Everyone else either a NCAA FA or in Fantilli's case eligible for this years draft

Basically top 10's been picked its just a matter of who wins but as for when voting ends no idea

That's brutal. How isn't Lane a finalist? What he did this year is historic. I wasn't expecting him to win it, but he should at least be in the running.

He was Feb 20 then fell out Feb 27 to Levi

Connor Beddard is gonna be a bust watch

I guess it depends what you're projection of him is. He's going to be a HOF lock player. Anything else is a bust IMO.

I certainly hope not, considering he's likely going to us...

Having that high expectations are kind of putting him on bust trajectory, saying someone will be a HOF when they aren't even drafted yet are very lofty expectations and while Bedard certainly is exceptional, it's too early to consider him a HOF lock, etc

He's putting up better than McDavid's junior stats and is the best ever IIHF U20 Canadian Player at 17. I think his trajectory is that high.

The isles have prospects?

By the end of the offseason theyll all be traded to dump josh baileys contract

Alex Jefferies looks interesting

When the Covid shutdown happened he was one of the only isles prospects playing at the time. Watched his entire freshman season. All of his tools/IQ are above average but not elite. He could turn into a middle 6 dual threat winger with the right development (not with the isles)

Naw bruh, he's going to Chicago

Eric Lindros

If he's not better than Lindros he's a bust

Exactly

UNH, Maine, Mass are all out
