We can sure use him…

 

[William H Bonney]

It'll be interesting to see what happens with him. He's had a great NCAA career, but he's not big, and he'll be 25 later this year.

I did vote for McKay in the Hobey Baker poll (humble brag lol). He may not be the best talent in college but figured they would reward his stellar career and also recognize the Maverick’s dominant season.

 

[BlueBull]

McKay won the Hobey Baker.


Someone f***ing sign this guy for the love of god.

 

[Kcoyote3]

I'm sure he'll get signed somewhere

 

[Dr Jan Itor]

Meh. Played behind and overage team that played in a crappy conference. I don't think he'll be anybody's goalie solution.

 

[pucksakes666]

leafs will sign him if there’s any spots left

MNU has beaten Harvard, Notre Dame and Minnesota to get to the final, hardly crappy teams there and McKay was instrumental for them. I would sign him on our team in a heartbeat.

 

[Thechozen1]

Intriguing prospect for sure. At his age, he’ll be selective of an organization that can fast track him to the NHL.

 

[montreal]

I've wondered if the Habs would be in on him, he's named after Ken Dryden so I assume his family is a fan of the Habs. They need a goalie for the ECHL next year assuming Primeau/Poulin is the Laval duo (it's Primeau's last year in the AHL without needing waivers). They have Dobes who I assume plays 1 more year at Ohio St and Dichow who they might bring over this summer or he'll go to the SHL with Frolunda.

Wasn't even the best goalie in the NCAA, much less the best player. But voters love their seniors, so it is what it is.

Levi wins the goalie of the year but another goalie wins the hobey baker….
Don’t know how that makes sense.

 

[cg98]

I agree, Devon Levi should have won the Hobey Baker this year. He carried that Northeastern squad hard.

 

[Raccoon Jesus]

Kings have a great goalie whisperer in Ranford and no prospects distinguishing themselves. I don't know enough about McKay to know if he wants to stay back east, but he could join a young up-and-coming team with no real prospects of note in front of him with a great goalie coach here.

I personally love Parik but I don't see how Dryden would look at a stable of Ingham-Parik-Villalta-Hrenak behind Petersen/Quick and get scared

Every Hobey Baker Winner in recent memory has made the NHL.

I would not be surprised if McKay plays his first NHL game next season or the season after that.

He's an undersized 24yo senior who routinely faced ~15 shots per game. I'm sure he'll draw some interest as a free agent, but I would not put money on him panning out as an NHLer.

 

[Mrfenn92]

I’ll guess he’ll sign with the blues

 

[Kcoyote3]

I think he signs with Buffalo

 

[SimGrindcore]

He's been stellar for 4 years in College. He deserve a chance in the NHL.

 

[willy702]

I'm sure his agent has got 10 teams wanting to sign him by Monday. Yeah easy competition and not a ton of shots but he's very technically solid from what I have seen in the tournament. Benefit for him is most NHL teams not willing to bring a guy up until he's close to his age so the path to the top could be short in the right situation.

 

[Breakers]

I think he signs with Buffalo

Buffalo has two of the better goalie prospects in the NCAA which will both be signed next year

Buffalo spending 3 contracts on NCAA goalies in 2 years would be odd considering they still have luokkennen or however you spell it.

Sounds like a college kid taking a supplement he was allowed to take that happens not to be cool for international hockey competition.
