How the hell did we not recruit a guy named "Dryden McKay"?  Is his middle name Dave?

Probably Matt.

Makes it even more puzzling. He literally was born named for a Cornellian. One would think we would have had the inside track, unless his grades ....

And can you imagine the storyline if we played them in the Frozen Four? ESPN could bring the Big Kid in as a commentator and ask him who he's rooting for. Oh, break my heart again!

I'll admit, I'm a little surprised.

He was the best player on the ice in the ECAC, but I thought someone with flashier points numbers might take it.

I am surprised.  Congratulations!  NOW COME BACK!  (Narrator: He did not come back.)

My god, though.  If he did.  Kaldis is huge, and Malott and Bauld will hurt some, but we are loaded.  Assuming there is a 2021 season, of course.

I'm surprised too.  I thought he was wearing the wrong sweater to get this type of recognition.

you get recognized when your team gets to hang a national championship banner

[Jeff Hopkins '82]

Count me as surprised, too.  He didn't have flashy numbers compared to some and was just a junior.

Not saying he didn't deserve it - he did - but it's not consistent with how these things usually play out.

Rangers just signed some WMU junior forward.  Surely they wouldn't want to take two NCAA junior forwards in the same non-off-season, right?  Right???
