Which goalie should lead Laval to the AHL championships?

[DAChampion]

Should the games go to Dobes as he's in the Habs,' future plans or to Primeau as he got them to the playoffs or to Connor Hughes because he has the best head of hair?

Poll will close in 14 days.

I'm voting for Primeau as I think that's more fair.

Primeau.

Primeau to start... but medium short leash

Primeau and it's not even close

Monty

Jacob Fowler?

Do what Price did in 2007

We all loved our 35 year-old rookie phenom goalie.

 

[WeThreeKings]

Dobes and Fowler.

Primeau's future with the organization is pretty much non-existent.

 

[Tyson]

If Fowler signs I can see him being given a look like they did with Price in 2007. If the Habs don't make the playoffs they have to decide what's best for Dobes such as AHL playoff action. Tough decisions ahead.

 

[zzoo]

How about Fowler ?

 

[DAChampion]

How about Fowler ?

I left an "other" option, though personally I find that idea disrespectful to the roster.

 

[Kudo Shinichi]

No chance its Fowler. That would be a huge slap to the face of Primeau/Dobes

 

[WinterLion]

Is Dobes eligible?

 

[vokiel]

Voted Primeau, it's not the time to evaluate "solutions". You do that going in and out of training camp.

They did it with Price and sent Halak to the Worlds.

 

[ahmedou]

Primeau! Dobes! And Fowler!

Halak went to the worlds so was he really snubbed?

I mean, he was removed off the team he was playing with for a guy who wasn't on the team for the entire season.

If they feel that Dobes or Fowler is the guy to give the reins to, and that kid can play, no one is gonna care about Primeau's feelings. Especially since he's pretty much gone from the org anyhow.

If we're thinking long term development and making the habs better for the next few years, then it's Dobes for sure. There's no upside in giving Primeau anything at this point. If we're talking about who can make them win NOW and not mess with the locker room too much, I might actually still go with Dobes TBH, as he's still very much a part of that group.

 

[salbutera]

When Fowler signs his ELC, it’s a matter of time before he becomes Laval’s starting G

Fowler will join Habs at some point next season, it’s an inevitability..

Yes, I would expect that it would be Dobes in net with Primeau backing up. Fowler will be there to practice and maybe eventually sit as the back-up depending on how things shake out.

It's not easy calculus but you gotta give the exposure to a guy you see here long term. Hughes and Primeau don't fit that description.

 

[Monsieur Miz]

We're fighting for a playoff spot, it's not the time to bring the 0,838 save % guy up just so Dobes can have a playoff run in the AHL. That experience is overrated as f*** imo.
