Analyst Suggests Possible Game Plan for Canadiens' Top Goalie Prospect Jacob Fowler
We just got an interesting update about young Montreal Canadiens goalie Jacob Fowler.
As Cayden Primeau struggles in the NHL with the Canadiens, all eyes are turning to Fowler.
A game with the Canadiens this season for Jacob Fowler?
Here's an excerpt from a fascinating discussion on BPM Sports between Martin Lemay and Mathias Brunet regarding the young netminder.
A 1.55 goals-against average with a .948 save percentage.
It's insane.. 4 shutouts for him right now!»
- Martin Lemay
«Most likely, it's Laval next year.»
- Mathias Brunet
«He would leave college right away.»
- Martin Lemay
«I imagine the Canadiens will do everything to make that happen. He's already done two years. I think it's time. They might give him a game at the end of the season.»
- Mathias Brunet
«The Canadiens did it with Lindgren in Carolina.»
- Martin Lemay
They also mentioned that, for players aiming at the NHL and the pro ranks, two years of college hockey is typically the benchmark.
Given that Fowler has already completed two years, we could realistically see him sign a contract by the end of the season, much like Lane Hutson did last year.
It's a situation that also occurred with goalie Devon Levi of the Buffalo Sabres.
Jacob himself confirmed earlier this week that he plans to sign with the Canadiens organization, so the wait shouldn't be long!
If it were up to you, what would you do with Fowler?
