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

[WeThreeKings]

If he was smart, he wouldn't burn a year off his ELC. Goalies take so long to solidify themselves, if you have to sign your extension in 2 years rather than 3, you could be costing yourself a lot of money.

Plus look at Levi in Buffalo who did burn a year and is still in the AHL.

That only applies to pro-players & not amateurs on team's reserve list. Fowler will need to sign an AHL contract though. If he signs an NHL contract for this year, he is ineligible for the AHL play-offs.

So if he plays for Montreal, he can't play for Laval this year. It's next season. If he plays for Laval, he can't play for Montreal this season. It's one or the other.

Habs better off signing Fowler to Laval. But I imagine he is pushing to sign in Montreal. Get to free agency a year quicker

Levi kind of small for NHL goalie though

They should make him join the main team, but not play him unless injuries or something exceptional. Make him practice hard with the big club though, to give a break to Monty who should just do the bare minimum in terms of practice, just to stay in game shape. Laval is fine with Hughes and Primeau.

Trey Augustine going back to school.
Drafted one round earlier than Fowler.

Wings also have Cossa. Smart move by Augustine. Fowler is better anyway.

Kid is prolly mulling his options over.

 

[Spearmint Rhino]

Has his blocker been spotted at the Montreal airport yet?

 

[SannywithoutCompy]

Fowler can’t play in the NHL and AHL this year. It’s either or.

I believe you, just curious why signing an NHL contract means he can't be sent down until next year?

Can't sign an ATO if you are under contract this year and he's not eligible to play for Laval since he wasn't on their reserve list at the date required to be put on it.

Did the bruins draft a mega bust with their recent 1st round pick?
3 pts in 36 games is crazy

They (or he) mishandled his development so far, USHL was the obvious route this year.

 

[CrazyBob]

breaking news. Jacob Fowler decided to sign a 2 years extension with Boston College! Sorry guys

...April fools! (sorry i had to )

 

[BaseballCoach]

Kid is prolly mulling his options over.

Seems Sporstnet is saying he might sign for two years in Switzerland, since Monty blocks Montreal and Primeau blocks Laval.

He plays more minutes for now, makes more money immediately, and becomes a free agent at the end of that contract. Thirty two teams will be after him.

In fairness to him, he was was supposed to play in the USHL this year, not the NCAA. He was clearly not ready for that level of hockey yet, coming from prep school hockey in Canada.

They need 2 goaltender in Laval, not 1.

Of course Sportnet is saying that, they wish MTL get screwed by losing the best goaltending prospect in the NHL.

I haven't seen a single mention of this anywhere.

Any source for that?

I don't trust that. I mean, Primeau block nobody in Laval. He is an ahler goalie.
And in Fowler's case. Every time he been talking about how Montreal was a perfect fit for him. His family is from here.. he told he wanted to learn french. Althought he is a really good liar. I don't see him signing anywhere else.

 

[BaseballCoach]

Any source for that?

The non-existent Sporstnet on the morning of April 1.

Has his blocker been spotted at the Montreal airport yet?

only his jock strap unfortunately
