The question again:  Is there something unique to the player who wins the
Hobey that somehow negates his pro potential--and I'm not talking about
all the intangible elements that are included in the consideration of the
award.  What traits might be common to Hobey winners, but fatal to NHL
success: size,
strength, shotmaking, etc.

I think it's basic:  the two games (pro and college) are totally
different.  What makes one a good college player doesn't make one a good
pro and vice-versa.  The Hobey awards the best college player.  Period.
