He can do both, of course. Joe Nieuwendyk jumped from Cornell but returned
for several summers until he gained his degree. I am sure numerous
athletes from other schools have done the same.
There is a rookie salary cap in the NHL now, yes? This suggests that
Crowley can't do much better than 1 mil over three years, Hobey or no.
With injury such a real possibility in hockey, I think he'd have to lack
every ounce of risk-aversion to turn down the offer.
