Prospect Info: [2023 - 69th] Jacob Fowler (NCAA - Boston College)

[Kairi Zaide]

He looked very happy to get picked by the Habs

that's basically the #1 criteria to be drafted by HuGo

see how happy reinbacher, slaf, etc. were !

 

[Kairi Zaide]

He can hang out at the stocky golatender's bbq festival this summer with Niemi,Khudobin and Tim Thomas

is that festival sponsored by Enterprise ?

 

[Habs Halifax]

Not like this matters but at 222 lbs, he's the heaviest guy drafted along with Stramel in the 1st round.

6'-1" / 222 lbs. How agile is he for that height/weight?

 

[Habs]

how exciting, another goalie that won't surpass Dobes

 

[Team_Spirit]

Round 3 pick 69

Whaaaaaat???



Kid is gonna make it or Nikola Tesla is full of shit.

Going to BC of course, should have seen this one coming

He’s honestly surprisingly explosive at that weight.

 

[SwiftyHab]

Boston College has a very good physical development program. this kid will be in the gym everyday with a trainer. he wont be overweight by the time he gets to us

 

[Habs Halifax]

He’s honestly surprisingly explosive at that weight.

I would be willing to guess they work with him on getting a tad bit on the leaner side. Price was 6'-3" and 217.

Impressive if he has great agility for that height/weight. It might be why he was the 6th goalie drafted and not the 1st. Just guessing

The funny thing is, his girth kind of works for him, he’s very square and wide and takes away a lot of the net for a 6’1” goalie. I kind of wonder if he might be best left as a girthy goalie as he moves very well for one. It’s kind of what makes him good.

 

[Team_Spirit]

Dominated the USHL

Goalie of the year + playoffs mvp

Haters gonna hate anyway..its what they do!

Like Gump Worsley?

Like Gump Worsley?

Gump was like 5'6"

He is not a great skater and stickhandler, but does cover a lot of the net (not just because of his weight). Its that kind of goalie who is big and play big in front of the net. With mobile D, that could work.

What I don't like, is that he will be playing with a stacked team. Hard to really gain experience when you don't really get challenged.

 

[Adam Michaels]

Small goalie. Check.
Redhead. Check.
#69. check.
Perfect.

Small goalie? He's 6'2" and 223 lbs.

 

[Hacketts]

yay we drafted a fatty

 

[NotProkofievian]

Wasted pick. You might as well trade the pick for a goalie already playing in the show.

 

[DramaticGloveSave]

Small goalie? He's 6'2" and 223 lbs.

I believe he measured 6’1” at the combine. Not small, but definitely smaller than what we’re seeing where 6’3” is the standard and a lot of the top picks are 6’4”+

 

[Playmaker09]

Don't think he was at the combine.

Or at least not listed here:

2023 NHL Combine Heights & Weights - The Hockey Writers Latest News, Analysis & More

The 2023 NHL Combine has come and gone. Here is the list of heights and weights for prospects that took part in the testing on Saturday.

thehockeywriters.com

Anyway, Wolf and Levi are both 6'0. Saros 5'10.

Just gotta stop the puck.

 

[Chadstudsky]

Listed as 6'2 on EP. Too bad we don't have combine measurements, might be a 6'1.75 situation

 

[Gaylord Q Tinkledink]

Should be a probability to play for us at the world juniors? I imagine it's him and Augustine ?

 

[bcv]

Accrding to every scouts and lists.

Well, that’s entirely false. Just look at the tweets in this thread to see lists had him higher than some of the others

 

[Naslundforever]

His stats are really amazing, and that interview post draft has me more than sold.

 

[NobleSix]

I like this pick. Pretty good value at 69th

 

[sandviper]

Had him as my #2 goalie so I’m pleased.

 

[morhilane]

Nice goalie pick. I like it.
