Prospect Info: David Reinbacher - Laval Rocket edition

[HuGo Burner Acc]

Personally, I don't think that he's injury prone, like Guhle or Dach. Hopefully he's not, we need more data before we make that claim.

In Guhles defence, his injuries this year are the most freak things. Appendix and a huge cut.

 

[montreal]

Not his draft season.

I just saw talk about his injuries so I thought of that game but wasn't reading the thread as a poster as I was more in mod mode as I try to clean up the prospect threads when I have some time.

 

[Mrb1p]

I think David had a bracr ok his right knee in his draft year but we dont know when he injured it, then he got his left knee injured in the WJC.

Not exactly injury problems.

But it's like that every year.

 

[ahmedou]

We didn't give up on Slafkovsky.

So we mustn't give up on Reinbacher.

But it's like that every year.

An appendix and a cut definitely should not be considered “injury prone”. An argument can be made for reinjuring the same body part over and over of course, but even then, that could be because of the way someone plays as opposed to physiology. I wouldn’t call an enforcer injury prone if he keeps breaking his hand punching someone for example.

Let me reiterate, Guhle misses a lot of games, because of injuries and illness, that's my point.

 

[Kobe Armstrong]

It's unlikely any player becomes Kucherov.

And I don't engage in it, I'm just telling it like it is. People are gonna fire back with some insane takes on Michkov because of the insane takes on Reinbacher.

Everything is tribalized.. can't even say Laine is bad 5 on 5 without some people inventing realities that he isn't. Nuance is a lost art.

Can’t say Dach or Newhook are bad without people inventing realities that they aren’t

Everyone has their favorites

He does have some chicken legs tho hopefully MSL sets him straight

Guhle also has the same CLS (chicken leg syndrome)

 

[Scintillating10]

I would definitely look into it but I wouldn’t really say it’s been a lot. This is the only year since at least his draft year that he’s missed significant time. He came back early and looked fantastic.

Whatever’s happened with this new one seems pretty small. I wouldn’t be opposed to getting an RD regardless but I’m certainly not giving up on Reinbacher

Reinbacher has a wonky knee. I would add depth this summer on right side. Savard this is his last season. Hutson can play right side but is better on left.

Getting another RD makes some sense but remember they have Mailloux if DR goes down with the knee issue.
I still think the kid has just had some bad luck, and DR will be fine to win the job next season. But until he shows everyone he can stay healthy, then there needs to be a plan B.

 

[Laboeuf]

Last minute to defend a lead I’m putting Guhle and Reinbacher out there.

Loosing faith in Mailloux. Hope I’m wrong. I get the feeling that if we thrust him into a #1 role we create another Brisebois situation where we put a guy in the position to fail. Time will tell, though.

David Reinbacher trained with the Montreal Canadiens. At the Bell Centre. Yesterday. April 8th 2025.

Hutson will be the guy in that role.
Mailloux is just gravy at this point.

Odd. He goes from being a scratch for precautionary reasons in Laval to suddenly training with the Habs?

Maybe if Habs clinch on the weekend they give him a couple games next week and rest Savard

There was no Rocket training yesterday.

That's why he trained with the Habs yesterday.

Laval is on a away trip and Rein didn't go with them, he's doing his "rehab" in Brossard (Vincent said he had some small injury, hence de scratch).

 

[Redux91]

But it's like that every year.

Well hey the appendix wont grow back so that's one thing taken care of !

Keep an eye on his spleen tho.. tonsils?

 

[Hannibal]

So… Reinbacher skated yesterday. This morning at the first Rocket’s practice since their return of road trip, he ain’t even on the ice.

They're saying this isn't concerning.

But how can it not be. It seems he needs to be shut down and the knee needs to heal properly.

 

[Adriatic]

Mailloux should be used as a trade asset if he has any value.
