This week, after the elimination of Boston College last weekend, we were closely watching what would happen with Jacob Fowler, the Habs’ top prospect in net.

After seeing Fowler’s teammates with Boston College, Gabe Perreault and Ryan Leonard, sign their entry-level contracts in the NHL, we were wondering when it would be Fowler’s turn.

And finally, on Thursday, the Habs’ prospect signed his entry-level contract in the NHL, which will begin next season. In the meantime, Fowler will finish this season with the Laval Rocket via a professional tryout.

The Habs’ top prospect in net is therefore under contract, and it’s excellent news.

Fowler is a good kid, and the organization has believed in him from the start, when they had him at the top of their list of goalies in the 2023 draft.

The Habs love Fowler, especially for his attitude, which is a key element of what the Habs are looking for in their team culture. He has great energy and a great personality that we all loved in the behind-the-scenes video of the 2023 draft.

No one is surprised when we hear a former teacher of Fowler say that he was a pleasure to have in class.

In fact, Chris Cotillo, a journalist who covers the Boston Red Sox and teaches communication at Boston College, took the time to mention that Fowler was a very good student in his classes and that he was very pleasant to have as a student.

Fowler is therefore a young man who likes to learn and especially wants to learn, which is exactly what the Habs are looking for in a young player.

The Habs’ top prospect in net not only has impressive assets on the ice, but also very important assets off the ice.

It’s no wonder that Kent Hughes and his team had set their sights on him in the third round, 69th overall, in 2023.

We really like Jacob Fowler’s overall work with the Habs.

In short, let’s see how the Habs’ new goalie will do now that he’s made the jump to the pros.


Overtime

– Ovechkin’s teammates are just as invested and happy as he is.

– CF Montreal will be in action tonight in Columbus to face Wilfried Nancy’s Crew.

– The former Leafs prospect, traded for Brandon Carlo, could play soon with the Bruins.

– It will be tough for the Bruins to remain competitive.

– For those interested.

– A player to watch in the next draft.
