Yup and with only 1 D manning the point he has to be the one.

A series of awesome defensive plays by Reinbacher on the PK. Mailloux should take notes.

Feels good to see dominant defending.
He's got that human eraser style we see out of Pietrangelo.

Yeah he's the best player on the ice outside of that Cleveland goalkeeper.

Adding Demidov , Reinbacher , Fowler is going to take this team to the next level
We won't be battling for mere Wild card spots
Reinbacher will morph that right side man
Sign/Trade for another
I think comparing Mailloux to Reinbacher is not fair to Mailloux. Reinbacher has a far better pedigree and projection on draft day.
I think a #5 pick should project as a top pair, and a 31st pick should project as a bottom pair, and I think both Reinbacher and Mailloux are on pace to be those things in the future.

He's definitely showing his bottom pairing upside on the regular.
I'm harsh, but I dislike his game as it is. With his size and his physical tools, he should start accepting that his path to the NHL is as a Savard/Kovacevic type player. He won't make it as an mostly offensive D unfortunately.

He was a fine pick after all. I mean I get why almost everyone wanted to add MM, he's a dynamic offensive player or Ryan Leonard a true power forward type of player but honestly I think MTL got the best defenceman of the draft + he's a RD.
Can't ask for more IF he remain healthy.

This is why I don't see him making it. I just can't picture him shifting his play style to something that is the anti-thesis of how he plays. He's basically Leeroy Jenkins incarnate.

This is why I respect David Savard and Alex Carrier. Both were offensive defensemen growing up who changed their game to find a role in the NHL.

Just got in. Why is Farrell getting into a wrestling match with Bowey?
PP Laval out of that scrum anyway.

I think he realizes it (at least I've heard messaging either from him or the org that seems to recognize it). But I think this is effectively the first year he's really spent focusing on it. Of course he has bad moments doing this, he's still developing. Playing PK for example is a pretty interesting development. I think he still needs at least half a season at the AHL level next year and then could be ready for bottom pairing duties on a more regular basis. As others have said though it may be with another team because I think he's decent trade bait too.
