I'm not sure if the "bottom half" would even have much of a scholarship. But, I do agree with Miami on limited options. Play intramural or join a local men's league and be a star.
Didn't Keilly do the same thing a couple of years ago, was coming to UNB and then ended up at UPEI?I’m sure Forbes isn’t impressed

I know they were interested in him, but not sure if he ever verbally committed to them.

Here is an artilce from 2017, no mention of it, but not that Malloy would know. Charlottetown native Kameron Kielly joins UPEI | The Guardian
Sorry, for some reason I thought that there was talk of him coming to UNB, could have been just talk or wishful thinking!

Well, as UNB Bruin says, they (UNB) were interested in him, probably a lot to the possibility he was entertaining the thought, and it would be a pretty strong pull for anyone to give up.

UNB talked to him. All I ever heard from them was "we decided to go a different way". Read into that what you want I guess.

At the end of the day, UNB = $ and if you can't agree with that, well, you're living under a rock my friend.

From what I can tell, there are approximately 45 forwards, 20 defencemen, and 5 goaltenders left.

Sure, sure.
I've typed this so many times: all schools have the same maximum pot for AFA's (sports scholarships). Ontario shoots themselves in the foot by setting a limit below the max. UNB does its best to fund-raise the money to try to max its AFA pot; few schools manage to pull this off, but schools in the AUS certainly try. UNB does not have a varsity football team to bleed cash. Hockey is a big deal at UNB, like football to Laval and basketball to Carleton. In summary, individual hockey players can't get more than the max AFA at UNB, but probably more of them are getting the max compared to less well financed programs.
And if you ask the players, its about the rings. Right now, playing for UNB or Alberta gives you the best chance to play for and win the University Cup. And is also gives you arguably the better chance to get a pro hockey job after university.
