Honestly thats the kind of defining roster building that could change things and allow the Habs to necessarily not have that top 15 offensive forward and still be very successful, just like Nashville a few years back.

If Dubois become a Habs, that would be a very good offense group aswell, Dubois, Suzuki, Caufield, Dach, Slafkovsky, Heineman and more. Not bad at all, But i'd rather have Benson//Smith than Reinbacher, but it's my personnal choice. Reinbacher is a top 10 worthy and have top pairing potential for sure.

Reinbacher is good. If he was a great playmaker I’d like him more, but just don’t see big time offensive upside with him.
 
Here's where things stand for me after the top 4.

5. Benson
6. Leonard
7. Smith
8. Dvorsky
9. Wood

And Reinbacher somewhere in that mix, just not sure where.

Top targets for pick 17-18 would be in order:
1. Wood
2. Cristall
3. Yager
4. Danielson
5. Lardis

My dream scenario is definitely Benson/Leonard + Wood.

If they pick Benson and Leonard over Reinbacher, I won't be complaining. But I really don't think it's complete BS either.

However I don't hate the (old) concept of building a team from the net out. I think the defense and transition play if they key to success in todays NHL. Of course, you need talented forwards, but the defenseman will make them look better or worse and dictate the possession more then forwards in my opinion.

All in all, just take BPA, even if that means picking a LHD (hopefully not hapenning with the ones available this year).


Reinbacher toolbox is on another level :laugh:

Montreal could go Reinbacher/Benson/Leonard at 6, Honzek/Simashev/Wood/Musty at 20, Hrabal/Haltunnen/Strbak/Stramel at 37

I mean a big RD that can eat you 23 min + playing solid minutes defensively while moving the puck really well is extremely valuable to a team and it really hard to find. It’s more valuable then an offensive Dmen or a top 6 winger in my book

The funny thing is, Reinbacher is a great playmaker from the back end. He's just looking for any excuse that this kid is a worse prospect than Mailloux

I like Reinbacher and we picking later he’d be a nice target. But he isn’t Seider who ironically I had higher than anyone here and even mocked him to Detroit at 6 when no one had top ten.

Its all suggestive and we could debate very long on the matter, but when I watch a kid like Benson who is 5'9 about 160 lbs battling for pucks and then watch Smith, one is playing like he was 6 + ft tall while the other battles like he was 5'6. I will let you guess who is who... I could say the same about a kid like Brindley or even Moore, all are smaller than Smith and yet play much bigger.

I ll take Benson all day long. Think Doug Gilmour

Seider was projected to go to Detroit, Edmonton, and Vancouver in the top 10 of his draft

Yea, from the net out was so a good idea and gave us so much success when we tried it with Price. Lol.

I mean we where a top 5 team between 2013-2016 without any top forward except Pacioretty (you don't build an offence around Pac though)

Imagine if we just had a #1 C of Suzuki caliber

Yes, because they made a ton of mistakes in the process. Namely, not develop a single impact player from the 1st round picks after Subban/Pacioretty.

It seems to have worked all right for Tampa and Carolina.

Caroline is building all out offence. They have freaking Frederic Andersen in net.

Ya I’m not saying he doesn’t have the attribute, I’m just saying he isn’t a guy with high playmaking ability that is required for defenseman to rack up points.

I disagree.

2009 was Josi's post draft season. Reinbacher just had the most productive NLA draft season ever.

Carolina has good defense, Anderson stats are better there then when he was in Toronto.

How many of those D was drafted and developped by them? 2.

I don’t draft a D-man at 5 or 6 except his name is Makar in a deep talented forwards draft. Especially when we lack forwards lol.
