Pierre LeBrun : do you expect Jacob Fowler to finish the season in Laval

Since yesterday, the case of Jacob Fowler has been a topic of conversation.

He has the chance to return to university… but it seems like real negotiation tactics are being used to ensure the young man gets what he wants.

And what he wants, is probably to finish the season in Montreal instead of Laval.

However, Pierre LeBrun just tweeted that there is no reason to worry and that there’s a good chance of seeing Fowler not return to Boston for the next season.

And still according to LeBrun, the most probable scenario is that he won’t burn a year of contract and will finish the season in Laval.

No reason for Habs fans to be stressing about not having a Jacob Fowler decision yet. I think it’s unlikely he stays in school for another year. Likeliest option is to join AHL Laval for rest of the season. But with Laval out West right now, there’s no urgency.

As the Laval Rocket is in the West for the next few days, it’s logical to think that GM Kent Hughes, assistant Jeff Gorton, and Fowler’s agent have time to think about all of this.

More details to come…
