Alumni in the pros 25-26

[sah67]

The Avs are demolishing Calgary and Malinski went forehand-backhand on an odd-man rush to make it 8-1:

Sam is now sitting on 5G, 29A for the season, more than doubling his output from last season, and also giving him the record for most points in a single NHL season by a Cornell d-man (eclipsing Doug Murray's 17-point campaign for San Jose in 09-10).

[sah67]

Malinski has 2 goals in a wild one against the lowly Canucks, where the Avs climbed back from a 6-2 deficit to tie it at 6 (Malinski's second), only to go down 7-6 again with a few mins left now.

Malinski is going to end up very high on the list of most successful NHL careers by a Cornellian.

damn near impossible to get higher than three

Matt Moulson, most likely.  Brian Hayward and Douglas Murray are in the discussion.

Riley Nash had a much longer NHL career than I realized.

Please don't kill me for saying this but for a program with so much team success...we have really not done well at producing NHL players. Maybe that's starting to change now.

I'd probably flip Nash / O'B and Moulson / Hayward, but all-in-all that's a pretty good list.

Fair statement.  We did have a protracted period 10-15 years ago where we had 7 guys playing simultaneously, but typically that was about 4 regulars and 3 cups of coffee.

For 30 years, Schafer attracted the type of player who performed well within a team but was not a balls out blue chipper.  Partly this was his preference and partly it was a calculated and pragmatic necessity.  First rounders are just not ordinarily interested in a serious academic environment.  It is a needless distraction from their aims and a potential obstacle to their development.

Will it be different under the NWO?  Who knows?  I always thought we were well positioned to take advantage of a more Wild West sports environment.  We have low admissions enclaves to hide the rockheads.  We have somewhat less of a branding hangup so we won't be as embarrassed by winning.  And while we have fewer rich douchebro alumni than HYP and Dartmouth who need to compensate for their impotence by buying their alma mater titles... we still have some and of all the Ivies we are most hockey-forward.

People seem to be forgetting Scrivens, who had a solid career that included a 59 save shutout.

I would definitely have Greening and Scrivens in the top 10. And either one could easily replace O'Byrne, who played a handful of partial seasons and was mostly on the wrong side of +-.

3 Moulson had 369 points. He's the clear #3 for now.
4 Hayward
5 Murray
6 (tied) Manderville/Riley Nash seem to have identical careers in the NHL
8 Malinski - I agree with the poster that he's on a trajectory for top 3
9 Scrivens
10 Barron
