'Jacob Fowler looks like a young Carey Price'

Who will be the Canadiens’ number one goalie in a year or two?

It would take a real expert to answer that question with any certainty.

While Jakub Dobes is guaranteed the No. 1 starting spot to kick off the season, things can change quickly in the NHL—especially for goalies—and let's not forget that the Canadiens have a gem on their hands in Jacob Fowler.

According to Steven Ellis, who analyzed the Habs' top ten prospects on Daily Faceoff, Fowler is the best goaltending prospect in the NHL.

The young goaltender ranks second on this list of Habs prospects, right behind Michael Hage, who, unsurprisingly, tops the rankings.

Ellis particularly praises Fowler's reading of the game, quick footwork, and fantastic hands and skating ability, which remind him of a young Carey Price during his early days in the League.

Furthermore, it's important to remember that Fowler is only 21 years old, whereas a goaltender's development typically takes longer.

Despite his young age, the Florida native performed well in his 17 games with the Canadiens last year, posting a record of seven wins, six losses, and two overtime losses, while maintaining a 2.43 goals-against average and a .908 save percentage.
