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

[overlords]

He will get an ELC but I believe he'd have to play in an NHL game to burn a year of it. I also don't think that would be of importance to him, goalies development takes so long that the expectation of being in the NHL before his elc expires would be lofty at best.

I think he'd need to sign a PTO like tuch did to play with laval. If he signed the ELC to play with the habs, he wouldn't be allowed down.

Oh ya I forgot that he basically gets cucked cause he wasn't on the Laval roster at the deadline.

Not so sure that's true. They are a playoff lock and I'm sure there will be an opportunity for a start or three at the end of the year. All depends on when he arrives.

True. Depends how much of a lead they have too. I’m sure they want home ice advantage.

 

[schwang26]

Just as Price was parachuted in to Hamilton’s 2006 playoff run?

Without looking at the 06 team, I’d wager they weren’t already in first with a goalie

Without looking at the 06 roster, I doubt Hamilton had a guy who’s like 16-4 at the time.

Are we sure Fowler can't pull a Price and become a starter at 20?

That didn't work out great for Price. He was the reason the Habs lost to Philly in the second round. And for two years after that, Halak was the starter.

I think it was the mental side more than anything. Cause right after they traded Halak, he has a great year and plays over 70 games. It was definitely his confidence

That came with age.

And also that was a tank year, so there was no pressure.

You're mixing up years. That was the year they took Boston to game 7 OT

Oh good point thank you.

I don't see it. Kid is the opposite of Dobes which is good. Highly technical. BUT he has to be quicker. And control how quick he goes on his knees since he's not the biggest goalie out there. I have some doubts. LOVE the pick then. Still love it. But I would be really really careful with him. Frankly...we need a goalie at some point.

 

[The Last Red]

Until it happens lol...

Only Siths deal in absolutes!

I don’t think you appreciate the discrepancy between the top seed and lowest seed at the Regionals in college hockey.

 

[DAChampion]

Annoint the savior.

 

[jrom]

I'm really fine with letting Primeau have a go at this playoff run, hopefully he does ok and it helps him get a new start somewhere else this summer,

Fowler is not Carey Price though

Fowler is not Carey Price though

Not even close.

No prospect since Price really has been. Vasy and Shesterkin have gotten to heights post draft as has Hellebuyck.. but still Price is his own animal.

Game on

somehow, I did think that Askarov had that potential....Just like I did think that Wallstedt also could be it too....

 

[Whitesnake]

What a f***ing goal by the Hagens line....Leonard...and then Perreault scores.

 

[SuzukiSZN]

Noooo Bentley goal

 

[HomaridII]

1-1. Bentley tie it on the PP. No chance for Fowler on that one but he still almost got across and saved it

 

[HomaridII]

Ryan Leonard misses a net so wide open Dvorak would have scored it. On the PP no less. Then for no reason punches a guy who was taking a penalty to make it 5-3.

Yeaaaaaah,

He’s a hot head

Good news is that we don't need him to be Carey Price. In his Habs era, Carey had to be under a 2.0 GAA every game for just a chance to win, 3goals and we were done.

Now, we would be so much better with a goalie that is playing for 910% and 2.5GAA. That's middle of the pack, top15 in the NHL. Instead we have 3GAA Monty and Dobes and 4.7 Primeau ... with a massive 898% 897% and 836%, that's so bad, straight up trash goaltending.

 

[Whitesnake]

Main problem this year for Fowler is that all things considered...he wasn't that much tested. High danger chances weren't legion.

Reason why if he comes in...it has to be slow. He will be tested in the AHL. Way more than he ever was.
