We got Newhook mate... close to 90% no one after the 15th pick will amount to anything better than him.
This is kind of a funny post. Everyone here claims we should always draft BPA and never for need. If the BPA (according to Habs brass) was Reinbacker, then you pick him. Do people forget that you can trade for players? Picking Michkov sounds A LOT like picking for need and not BPA in this case. Anyways, it's always been pretty obvious to me that most of the sports media don't have a clue and are about as sharp as a bowl of jell-o anyways.I’ve been listening to Franco radio and most callers don’t get the pick. Several didn’t understand the urgency of landing a D in a quality forward draft. Some thought we are already too heavy in D. A few had watched video and liked the pick but not at the expense of Michkov.
I switched over to 690 and our pals Campbell and his garden gnome were barely paying attention to the draft. They were too busy cracking lame jokes and getting into cheap banter with callers.
An interesting interview on 98.5 FM with Eric Faille who played with Reinbacher and watched his ascension. He said the more the coaching staff gave him responsibilities, the more he showed that he could handle them and kept wanting more. And kept it up when he graduated to a higher league, where Faille ended up on the same team and saw for himself how quickly he adjusted and evolved.
Faille’s description and endorsement reflected some of the qualities that must have impressed Habs scouts.

lmao we really needed another LDWe could’ve had Michkov/Leonard and Gulyayev/Dragecevic but instead we have zero offence Reinbacher and Newhook. Cool.
I said defensAnd Draisatl is already the best German forward by 257 points at age 27.
Nationality is irrelevant
He will be better I hope than Thomas PockThe best Autrian player since 1990 is Thomas Vanek certainly not a guy you want to draft 5th overall. The 2nd best autrian player is Grabner. After that you don't want to know. Let's hope Rainman will be an
Riley Heidt would have been my pick if we keep the 31th pick
Gulyaev is going to become a superstar, isn't he?
