Prospect Info: Jacob Fowler

[TheBuriedHab]

Ehhh I don't love it. He already dominated that league. I guess BC will be worse but he really should move up a level.

Don’t believe it for a second.

It's that time of the year. Wait tomorrow.

 

[Maitz]

Fowler literally has nothing to prove in college. If he goes back for the chance to win it it might backfire him. Habs will have room for him in the depth chart

 

[le_sean]

This would be incredibly stupid of him. A .940 SV% this season. He has nothing left to learn there.

 

[SannywithoutCompy]

Don’t believe it for a second.

Cam is usually pretty reliable I think unfortunately

As the son of a proud immigrant, if i came home with a 94%, my dad would ask me where the other 6% went.

What’s the team going to look like next year? Leonard and Perreault are goners. Any interesting incoming commits?

 

[Prairie Habs]

Smells like a negotiation tactic to burn a year or get more rookie bonuses

Kent's like.. bro I used to be an Agent just TELL me what you want ffs

That's what it is, he's searching for the same treatment as Leonard and Perreault.

Yup - it’s NHL or back to BC

 

[HabsWhiteKnightLOL]

I legit think he's him. I would legit start him in the ahl playoffs or even send him in the NHL as backup

 

[Canadienna]

I want him in Laval, but I really don't want him back at College next year.

Do whatever we have to do. If the kid is brimming with self confidence and is adamant he wants to play NHL games this year, give him a game. Maybe he will surprise, maybe he will be terrible, but I have about the same confidence in Dobes.

 

[The Gr8 Dane]

Seems like a risky move to pull as a goalie no?
He must be confident

 

[EveryDay]

Maybe he feel that he's not mature enough yet for the big market.

 

[Tuggy]

Is there any real concern about him trying to get to UFA like we've seen in the past with a few NCAA players?

Top NCAA prospects know they’ve got leverage over their NHL teams…it’s a business for player just as it is for the team

No…. he’s consistently stated he’s ready to turn pro w Habs. This is pure game of negotiation chicken..

 

[sampollock]

Get him signed KH

 

[EveryDay]

No…. he’s consistently stated he’s ready to turn pro w Habs. This is pure game of negotiation chicken..

I get it from his perspective also, he probably believes he's nhl ready right now or ready to start in the nhl next year.

Lets see what KH believes.

Pierre Macguire said something interesting today on his podcast that if Fowler goes back to BC he will make 6 figures in NIL money and not have to worry about AHL salary and Quebec taxes. Just relaying what he said...

100%. And HuGo will flinch first.

Hughes wants ATO then ELC, Fowler wants ELC.

Fowler will win. The ghost of Cutter Gauthier is lurking in the background . . . and foreground.
