We don't know what kind of vibe Michkov gave them in the interviews...

Very possible he just wasn't a viable fit, or they didnt get the impression he would come.

Hughes also, probably doesnt want to wait 3 years to find out.

Just stop it.

 

[MadMslm]

They we’re scared of trading back and Arizona selecting Reinbacher.

There was a lot of rumours that Arizona was high on Reinbacher.

I like him and defended him, I do believe his floor and ceiling are better than Leonard (even though I really like Leonard)

Put picking him in front of Michkov is a mistake.

 

[Runner77]

Michkov! Michkov! Michkov!

 

[Frenchy]

Hughes better not tell the media that they didn't draft for need.

Can't wait for them to sell to us Reinbacher as the next Bobby Orr

 

[eklund the clown]

We could have had the Flyers 7th and 22nd, Hughes you dumb ass egghead

And you know this for a fact ?

 

[waffledave]

@WeThreeKings called Reinbacher to be fair

 

[Tyson]

Management resemble incompetence tonight

 

[HabsWhiteKnightLOL]

Now trade the veterans you useless idiots

 

[Natey]

And SUDDENLY...Askarov, 15 and 24 would have looked insane.

5, 31, 37 into .... Newhook and Reinbacher.

Feels good, eh?

 

[Schooner Guy]

This place is reminding me of 2005 when everyone went suicidal on this board because we passed up Gilbert Brule and picked Carey Price.

 

[sampollock]

Philly takes Leonard

 

[SnapVirus]

ill get drunk to forget everything

 

[Kojo]

f***

 

[expy]

Michkov to Philly

 

[Andy]

Michkov, 2nd best player in the draft, passed on 6 times so far.

 

[Kobe Armstrong]

I called Reinbacher before anyone and I stand by it

I was arguing against the tank midseason because it didn't matter pick 5-10 we were picking Reinbacher no matter what

 

[HabsWhiteKnightLOL]

OFC they pick the f***ing allstar

Brière knows that u need f***ing talent to win

 

[Picaroon]

So why make a move to accelerate the rebuild by acquiring newhook and then select a dman that will take 3+ years to have an impact?

 

[_vivelequebec_]

On the few positives...

1. We are better with Newhook and one of the most NHL ready player in this draft than with any other 3 guys available at 5 31 37
2. At defence, we have real good prospects pool

 

[26Mats]

The Flyers passed on Caufield so we could get him.

Now we pass on Michkov so the Flyers can get him.

 

[Redux91]

Good for you Matvei
Don't hurt us too bad please bud

 

[MarkovsKnee]

I'm not sure what I feel but it's not exactly outrage.

Could they be right? Is Reinbacher that good?

I think Arizona really wanted Reinbacher, they looked flat and crestfallen when the Habs announced it.

If there's one position Montreal can draft it's defense. The kid is good. Imo, he's in Jiricek range. If you like Jiricek, you'll like Reinbacher.

He'll likely play in Laval next season.

 

[sukimono]

Loser vibes all over this organization

 

[waitin425]

Ughhhhh

 

[Monsieur Miz]

Literally fell to my knees.
