The Canadiens selected three goaltenders in the last draft. This is welcome news, as there wasn't much quality depth at that position in the organization.

Now, it's a complete turnaround, especially with their 3rd-round pick, Jacob Fowler. In his first year in the NCAA, the young goalie is impressing everyone, and he even won a gold medal with the United States in the recent World Juniors.

According to former NHL player Ryan Whitney, who is not a Canadiens fan and has made controversial comments about the team and its fans in the past, Fowler is in a class of his own.

«He's got to be one of the best goalies I've ever seen in college hockey.»

BC's goalie Jacob Fowler is the next Dominik Hasek.

With a record of 18-4-1, a 2.25 GAA, and a .924 save percentage at just 19 years old in the NCAA, it's already very telling. But to compare him to Dominik Hasek is just sensational!

Whitney talks about his spectacular saves game after game and his athletic qualities that allow him to make continuous two-pad stacks.

If the Canadiens have indeed drafted the next Dominik Hasek, it can be said that the goaltending future is secured for the next 15 years, and they have found Carey Price's successor.
