Prospect Info: [2023 - 5th OA] David Reinbacher (NL - EHC Kloten)

[Cubebrick]

Reinbacher, been saying it for months. Leonard would be a fine pick too.

The amount of temper tantrums this board will have to handle after the Habs' pick is going to be quite spectacular.

I tried to tell y'all. @Goldenhands and @WeThreeKings as well.

 

[Adam Michaels]

@WeThreeKings

Nice!!

 

[Wats]

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.

 

[NobleSix]

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.

 

[Microsens]

FUKC ME

 

[Grate n Colorful Oz]

I like the pick, but

If Michkov pans out, Rainmaker better become Hedman level or else this will look super bad.

 

[dackelljuneaubulis02]

Called it!

 

[Xss]

I hopes he's fine under pressure because he will be compared to michkov until the end of his career

 

[JGRB]

Hughes is dead to me

 

[DramaticGloveSave]

Newhook and Dach were great trades, and obviously loved the Hutson pick, but man…

Majorly disappointed with our drafting under HuGo

 

[Kaladin]

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.

 

[Quatre Vingt Treize]

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.

 

[Prairie Habs]

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*

 

[Adam Michaels]

I'm real happy with Reinbacher. He was among a number of players I really wanted.

 

[sansabri]

i like the pick if Michkov isn't on the board - but now i want to know why we passed on him

 

[SannywithoutCompy]

This franchise is allergic to high-end talent

 

[ginomini]

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.

 

[BehindTheTimes]

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.

 

[Goldenhands]

 

[The Great Weal]

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.

 

[Belial]

Last comment I’ll ever say about it. Molson is not deserving to run a hockey franchise. New owners need to be found now.

How the f*** is this on Molson lmao

 

[Walrus26]

If Michkov was off the board, Reinbacher was my choice. He's going to deliver for us.

But........damn. Michkov was still there.

 

[Seb]

I cannot express how much I'm happy we drafted Reinbacher. I REALLY wanted the Habs to pick him.

 

[jj cale]

This kid better end up some damn good is all I can say.

 

[Ezpz]

In a draft suggested to be all-time good for forwards we take a projected safe defenseman.
