David Reinbacher in Montreal: Wenn der Jüngling dem Trainer die Taktik erklären muss

Der ehemalige Klotener ist nach einem Meniskusschaden schneller als erhofft zurück auf dem Eis. Während der monatelangen Reha unterstützte der 20-Jährige den Trainer-Staff von Montreal.

It's behind paywall but according to this article Reinbacher has been working closely with the Habs coaching staff all season long. Has been analyzing games with the coaches and cutting highlights for them as well. Apparently Martin St. Louis wanted Reinbacher close to the team and always wanted to hear Reinbacher's opinion after games. He also asked Reinbacher to analyze some of the top defensemen in the NHL and work on the details he spotted while watching. Reinbacher says he loves working with St. Louis, says their connection is similar to the one he had with Jeff Tomlinson, his first coach in pro hockey who helped him get drafted this early and who managed to achieve promotion with Kloten and follow up with a strong first season in the NL before being forced to step down because of a health condition (I'm sure you all remember what happened to Kloten after Tomlinson stepped down).

I don't know if this was reported in Canadian media as well but I found it to be very interesting. Reinbacher seems to be really positive, says he learned a lot from working with the coaches...despite the injury.

They did the same thing with Kirby Dach.

I didn't know that. Interesting. Friedman and Bukauskas also talked about injured players getting involved in scouting and coaching during an episose of 32 thoughts last year. So there are other examples in the NHL but I don't think it's necessarily common. Maybe should be though. Players can certainly learn a lot.

How many minutes did he play?

There is no official TOI but I would estimate between 22 and 25. I kept seeing him every second change and wondered what the hell was Vincent thinking.

He was on for 4 goals against and if that isn't a hint he can't take that much TOI and play protected minutes...I don't know what is.

Any hope for him to become Jaccob Slavin 2.0?

Right handed Slavin 1.0. Not even Slavin ever became Slavin #MildlyOverrated

I was hoping more Dobson 2.0. Would like at least some offense from a 5OA pick - I know, it’s not his fault where he was taken in the draft . . . but still.

This doesn't make sense at all unless one is only thinking about fantasy hockey. No team would ever turn down a player that turns into a Jaccob Slavin. Not saying he will....just hypothetically speaking.

I don’t think he’s gonna be as good as Slavin even if I love David. Slavin is the best Defensive Dmen and a top 10 in the league

People think being good defensively and average offensively means you can be a Slavin and it's extremely naive. There is only a handful of players with Slavin's defensive IQ in the past few decades. To think Reinbacher will become that is very optimistic.

I'm sure there's some, but most don't.

I'll be happy with a steady, physical, mobile player. Just a good all around player you can count on in any situation. Not the best offensively, not the most physical, not the best defensive stalwart... just good at everything. We really need somebody like that we can plug into our top 4. I think Guhle will be that guy but it'd be so nice to have one on the opposite side as well.
