David Reinbacher - Laval Rocket edition

I had hoped he would be the answer to our RD woes so we can focus our efforts/assets/cap on a 2C. We can't trade Mailloux, now.

 

[HabzSauce]

Would we consider trading him? Assuming value/assets back are good

His potential is sky high. But injuries are annoying especially the knee. Could cash out now before things go more south. Or we bank on durability and we get a stud for years to come

Could be an abundance of caution. First place team and a 19 year old rookie who came back from a significant injury faster than expected, I would do the same.

I hope this is it.

You let him rest and if he can't play this year, then he doesn't. He has all summer to rehab his knee and he's ready for camp.

Until I hear the words "he needs another surgery", I'm fine.

Per Basu & Godin's lastest episode, it's the knee. See the section at 46:30.

Dang, thanks for sharing. Really hope he’s going to be 100%

 

[Trabdy2]

It's a bit concerning to see him miss another game. They said day to day so I hope he's able to get back in soon.

Not good.

The organization has earned some trust since switching their medical team. So I'd be willing to give them the benefit of the doubt.

 

[Habs]

Bustbacher!!!

Thx for posting this. Godin who discusses what may be going on with Reinbacher, says his source is RadCan’s Alexandre Gascon, who posted a piece about it on March 12th.

Several interesting points made in the Gascon article, this was particularly evocative:

“Reinbacher est revenu au jeu le 19 février, après quatre mois et demi d’absence, devançant ainsi largement le pronostic initial de cinq à six mois de convalescence. “

So he says, Reinbacher returned to action following a 4 1/2 month absence, which was shorter than the initial prognosis that called for 5-6 months of recovery time.

The cause for concern is how there have been several days where Reinbacher has not even skated.

The article confirms that the same knee that was operated upon is the issue but we don’t know if it’s an aggravation, a new injury or simply the byproduct and risk of his return having been shorter than the prognosis provided. Pascal Vincent claims that there is no setback and that they’re only acting out of an abundance of caution.
