I thought this was only available to the winners of the ROTY in each conference?

I suppose there is no hope in flying under the radar then, huh?

UML RS Freshman Dmitri Sinitsyn listed as LV on the NHL Final Central Scouting Rankings ... meaning Limited Viewing, just because he hasn't played in so long.

LOL. Just like Jerry York wasn't the best coach in that conference last year, either.

I had missed this story the other day, but congrats to Chris O'Donnell.

"Best coach" isn't how that award is given out, so you're comparing two totally different things. York is the greatest coach in the history of the sport. That award is (usually) given to the coach whose team improves the most. If it was just the "best coach" award, York would win every time.
That having been said, Wilson was the best rookie in HE, hands down. Interesting how BC fans ignore the fact that Gaudreau dissapeared for three months (4-5-9 in 19 games from November to end of Janurary), and how he seems to come alive when he's on tv (see: Bean Pot, HE Championship, NCAA Tournament). Wilson was consistant all season, had more points, and was the bettter rookie.
Fact and science.

Based on how the HE ROTY is given out, again, no problem with Wilson winning it. Just like you shouldn't have a problem with the front page of USCHO right now as the award was given out including all games...NCAA tourney, etc.
As a freshman, nine points in 19 games isn't "disappearing". The argument that Gaudreau playing better in big games should somehow be a knock against him doesn't make sense to me.
Scott Wilson is a very good players. My eyes tell me Gaudreau is better. That's my opinion.

Personally, I think you said it perfectly.
Re: UML 2012 Offseason Thread: "If this is a dream, don't wake me!"
Are you honestly telling me that you'd rather have Scott Wilson than Johnny Gaudreau? And are you chiding Gaudreau because he "only" lights it up in huge games?

In my opinion, Wilson correctly deserved the HE Rookie of the Year, his production proved it. For the course of the year, including the playoffs, the NCAAs etc ... Gaudreau obviously wound up having a better season. I have no problem with the USCHO ROTY going to him. I do hope that USCHO corrects the CHA's mistake though and give the COTY to Bazin.

9th, IIRC.
Personally, I think Bazin got robbed because he had to change the way they played and thought which I think is more significant than a coach who has had his program for years. That being said, extended fighting over these awards are kinda pointless.

Both teams were picked 9th in the pre-season poll.

Not sure if people here saw the NCAA Hockey, who's making money thread ...
But I've copied the original post and my response as well here.
