We have to be honest enough to say that he wouldn't have gotten this chance without his Swiss playing license. Still, not many defenders of similar age ever got this much TOI at NL level. And as you mentioned, his stats are impressive. He's also on a team that just got promoted so nobody can say that he's just a passenger on a strong team. Quite the opposite is the case. Curious to see where this is gonna lead and how his game is gonna translate to NA hockey.For what it is worth - Roman Josi in the NL in his draft year put up 8 points in 35 games played.
Reinbacher already has 14 in 28 games and is one of the highest producing first time draft eligible NL players in the history of the league. He is a defender btw.
I think some sleep on how impressive just the stat sheet is - let alone the eye test that shows his defensive prowess and ability’s in transition - plus a physical edge.
