Can't wait for Hughes to justify this by saying he was great in the World Championship and they acquired their elite forward in Newhook.
New management, seems like same drafting/development.

Not a fan of this pick whatsoever. I'll say the same thing as I said last year: "I hope I'm wrong".
But I'm getting really f***ing tired of saying that with our top 5 picks.

I like the pick, but
If Michkov pans out, Rainmaker better become Hedman level or else this will look super bad.

I hopes he's fine under pressure because he will be compared to michkov until the end of his career
Newhook and Dach were great trades, and obviously loved the Hutson pick, but man…
Majorly disappointed with our drafting under HuGo

Well I guess now we watch their much vaunted development capabilities turn Reinbacher into Makar.
FFS Hughes. What a coward. Even Leonard/Dvorsky/Benson would have been better than this.

All that hype for nothing. They drafted for need. A second pairing defenseman. They traded two picks for second line winger.
Bring back Bergevin. At least he can get us to the finals.
He'll be a great partner for guhle down the road, it just sucks to play it safe when a guy like michkov was on the board. Oh well, welcome to Montreal David *no last name*
I'm real happy with Reinbacher. He was among a number of players I really wanted.
i like the pick if Michkov isn't on the board - but now i want to know why we passed on him
This franchise is allergic to high-end talent
I will just say this. Everyone is pissed here, but among those who post all year long in the draft thread and follow prospects closely, a solid proportion loves Reinbacher and had him top 6.
I’m done with this team. Goodluck guys, but MB sucked the passion out of me and this group isn’t doing anything to bring it back.
I did have Reinbacher ahead of Leonard but not drafting Michkov hurts. They better be f***ing right that Michkov won't translate/come over here and that Reinbacher becomes a Heiskanen/Seider. A #4 dman would be a disaster of a pick for #5.
If Michkov was off the board, Reinbacher was my choice. He's going to deliver for us.
But........damn. Michkov was still there.

I cannot express how much I'm happy we drafted Reinbacher. I REALLY wanted the Habs to pick him.
This kid better end up some damn good is all I can say.
In a draft suggested to be all-time good for forwards we take a projected safe defenseman.
