Prospect Info: Jakub Dobes (2020 - 136th, USHL- Omaha Lancers)

[Habs Halifax]

When you look at Monty's development and how he looked when he first came to the Habs vs how he looks now, you should noticed one big thing. Compete Level and never giving up. He's resilient in terms of rebounding after bad games.

Hopefully Dobes has the same energy to keep improving.

Monty, Primeau, Dobes, Fowler. Their time don't overlap all the same but the opening is there for 2 of them to be part of our contender mix in 2+ years.

Montambault - 26 yo
Primeau - 24 yo
Dobes - 22 yo
Fowler - 19 yo

I think we will be ok in nets.

It's funny because even when Price was winding down people gave up on Lindgren who is now also an above average starter. Even Fucale is doing extremely well in the KHL and may find his way back since they're dead set on expanding to 40 teams.

Just like the whole team, he had a rough start to the season. Over his last 34 games he's put up a .918 save % which is very impressive for a rookie playing behind a pretty young defense.

To put into perspective how good that save % is, here is a list of highly touted prospects/high draft picks this year.

Wolf .923 - 35 games
Askarov .915 - 38 games
Wallstedt .912 - 42 games
Cossa .912 - 33 games
Silovs .907 - 33 games
Commesso .906 - 33 games

The young D does affect the goalie though (if your not Price). Being able to overcome this is great development IMO.

Most goalies have 3-5 good years and then they fade. Every season, there is a new top 10 with a few repeatable goalies in that mix. Very rare to have goalies who are in the top 10 for 5-10 years in a row.

I like our strategy with shoring up our D because if we have a good group of forwards and D, you can win without a guy like Price.
