I'm curious as to why a lot of people compare him to Moritz Seider? Does he have that nasty edge Seidar has?

Not necessarily the nastiness. Both RD with similar size. One was drafted 5th, the other 6th, both from the same part of the world. Both highly coveted.

Love the kid. He was made for this market. Pas de langue de bois!

We have a lot of young Ds at the NHL level already, with Hutson likely incoming, so Reinbacher in Laval for the season makes a lot of sense. Given Reinbacher is coming from another country, another language, not used to Canadian rink size and has played the year on a lousy team, makes sense for him personally just to play on Laval this year.

My expectations are he is a couple of years away from the NHL so if he is shaky in Laval for a while that is to be expected. Just want to see progress over next season. If he shows something good at all this year then that's exciting. His first concern has to be defense, but it would be a treat to see him show some PMD abilities and an offensive touch.

One thing for sure is DR could very play the entire season in Laval in 24-25. Absolutely no need to rush him.

This I don't see.
These players are on completely different trajectories and a giveaway isn't going to change that.
There isn't a Dman on Laval who doesn't give the puck away NOT ONE.
It just so happens that they get magnified when we expect more of a player.
Reinbacher will give the puck away get ready for it. What happens afterwards is what really counts.

What I mean is that they're gonna want to give Reinbacher more than third pairing duties, but you can't really demote Mailloux or Barron, both "promising" prospects who've given their everything to the Rocket most of the season. Houle will have to justify Rein's insertion on the second pairing to the locker room and, clearly, Barron is primed to be under the tightest leash ever.

Thus my reflexion on his attitude that has to be stellar if he wants a future in Montreal (and don't get me wrong - from NHL to AHL last pairing/possibly occasional odd man out in a couple of months ought to be really hard on anyone's morale). Something's gotta give with the D surplus this summer and he's already the leading candidate to be moved.

Didn't take Slaf long to figure Montreal out did it ?

Guessing having young guys like Suzuki, Caufield , Xheraj etc is a big help. Cool that these boys are going to grow up together. They will play for each other and give it all they have not wanting to let the boys down. We will have a good group.

The young group we have all seem to embrace it for what it is and look at the upside. A special market needs special players.

Tit-cul needs to cut down on the soda nights and all will be good.

Reinbacher is now in Montréal, friend of mine was on his flight.

I wasn't exactly a Saint at his age.
It's always hard for me to judge what is normal and what is overboard for these kids.
I guess if it's affecting job performance or can turn into a long term problem that can't be too good.

Can’t wait to see Reinbacher portrayed by Timothée Chalamet in an upcoming biopic.

 

[McGees]

Has Reinbacher scored for Laval yet?
bust.

This town is crazy about hockey ! I remember Gorton saying that in traffic people would roll down their windows to start chatting about the roster while waiting for the green light

Just realize that DR is RD.....or that we have a RD name DR......anyway, just ignore me

Trigger Warning: The above post contains explicit images of Kloten playing hockey.

You forgot:
And Reinbacher playing good shifts. Some viewers might be offended. Viewer discretion advised.

Party time!

 

[Kobe Armstrong]

People are clamoring to see a defensive defenseman?

Nobody even knows if he's offensive or defensive! He's a mystery

 

[HuGort]

Play rest this season in Laval. Get use to NA ice. But like to see him in Montreal next fall. good for Reinbacher to play full year with Savard. To learn from.
