I really don’t like Ghule on the right side. It’s going to be interesting to see what they do with Matheson. That’s another avenue we could explore.

Definitely not the last year of Logan and I’m not really sure how one comes to that thought process. I would even say Barron as well but they have a much better idea on where he is heading as a professional

You know, this narrative is as bad as Flat Earth conspiracy arguments. No matter what people will tell you about his solid play in the zone, and much needed stability on RD, you will come back to "yeah but Michkov" cliche. Kid is 19 ffs and I would already take him over effing Mailloux who can't play in his zone still.

Injured in Laval last year, Inured in Montreal this year. How is that not two years?

I like my D offensive players. Gives better powerplay more secondary scoring in general. Why I leaned towards Leonard/Michkov. Guys like Pesce are good players but at 5 I am looking for more. Look at Carolina last year in playoffs had trouble scoring.
My first pairing I like that physical mobile offensive right shot D. Somebody like Yakemchuk Sens drafted. Big mobile good hands, shot, plays with an edge. Sees ice well, makes quick accurate passes. Gives you toughness, 20 goals, size. On left side I like that smooth playmaking D. Somebody like a Markov or JC Tremblay. Hockey smarts, quarterback powerplay. They balance each other well.
He played a bunch of games last year, both in the Swiss League and in Laval.

The first job of a defenseman is to defend against the rushes and consistently win defensive assignment. Reinbacher is well above teenager defenseman in those department.
An offensive D is worth nothing, a big zero, if he can't defend a rush or break a cycle.
Its what is holding Barron and Mailloux from blossoming into NHL regular.
Reinbacher is already competent here.
I don't really understand your comparison with Pesce as he is only and solely a defensive player with no offensive acuity.
But, since Pesce already had bigger demand (so a bigger contract) than a 35-40 goal small scorer like Marchessault, what would be his worth if he had an important offensive element(like Reinbacher) to his game on top of his defensive acuity?
That is what we are looking at and aiming for Reinbacher.

Lol ok , getting picky about saying he missed games now I see. I’ll bow out before the law comes down on me for suggesting he’s been injured for large stretches of time two years in a row.

Because he wasn't injured for long stretches of time. The only game he missed in Laval was the final one and the team was already eliminated. He played in Switzerland last year.
You just don't care because you want to live in your delusional outrage that he's always injured & is already a bust.
It's pretty obvious you don't know this player at all, since you think he should be comparable to Subban/Hutson when that's not his game at all.
I agree completely. A defenseman should first and foremost be able to defend. That's what Habs brass and all those other teams dawning him and I wholeheartedly believe he has the ability to grow his offense and become something like a 50 pt dman aswell but I want a rock solid penalty killer and a guy who just gets the puck out of the zone and on to the stock of a forward as quickly and effectively as possible and that is reinbachers calling card.
We are massively under estimating and under appreciating what reinbachers is likely to become and how important a piece to our team he will be if we want to be contenders
So typing "2023 NHL Mock Draft" into Google yields:
1st result - NHL.com mock - Kimelman Michkov 5th (Reinbacher 6th), Morreale Reinbacher 5th.
2nd result - www.mynhldraft.com - Michkov 5th, Reinbacher 6th
3rd result - bleacherreport - Michkov 4th, Will Smith 5th, Reinbacher 6th
Diebytheblade.com - Leonard 5th, Reinbacher 7th, Michkov 8th
sportsnet.ca - Leonard 5th, Reinbacher 6th, Michkov 8th
thescore.com - Reinbacher 5th, Michkov 7th
Feel free to find more.
Seems like a lot of "finding player drafted 1-100 places after our pick, who blew up and overperformed expectations by a lot and criticizing our management for not predicting the future perfectly to identify that overperformance". Yeah we know hindsight is 20/20. You didn't know Michkov could end up the 2nd best player in the draft. If it was so obvious he would have been drafted 2nd overall and we wouldn't we talking about him at all.
This clearly shows most Mock drafts had Reinbacher, Leonard and Michkov around together in the next grouping after the top 4.

I do Three bullets.
So
Say you wanted to ignore a thread
But like, only for like 5-6 months for some unspecified reason
How would I then be able to un-ignore it after those said 5 to 6 months if it like, won't exist anymore for me?
Lol

I'm not searching for mock drafts, I was looking for prospect rankings, and yes most fans knew how good Michkov was, people were not sure of his availability. Who cares, team Reinbacher are so certain he's the next Serge Savard that I guess we are set. I'm done with him for now, I keep forgetting we are not allowed to question the great Reinbacher on this forum.
