Prospect Info: David Reinbacher - Laval Rocket edition

[BenchBrawl]

Insane? Did you see the proposal of some guy on the trade thread about getting the 4th OV to get Desnoyers? That's insane !!

Don't you think that Matheson skating is a 10/10 because I do.

If Matheson is 10/10, what is McDavid? 10/10 too so their skating are equal? Give me a break.

If Matheson is 10/10, what is McDavid? 10/10 too so their skating are equal? Give me a break.

So only 1 player can get a 10/10? Give me a break.

Matheson is part of several players that I believe are in the group of best skaters in the league, if you disagree that's your takes and move on.

McDavid skating is 10/10, but his speed it's 15/10

 

[13 Black]

McDavid skating is 10/10, but his speed it's 15/10

What differentiate McDavid from all the other speed guys is his ability to make plays without slowing down one bit. Skating very fast in a straight line is one thing. Skating very fast while holding the puck and making dekes and plays is another. McD is one of the best ever if not the best ever at it

Another player in Laval looking pretty solid,smart player and can pinch at the right time.

 

[Sasha Orlov]

Guy is a stud, praying he actually pans out like he is showing glimpses of currently

Can't wait to see him in Montreal at the camp. Many of us are going to be astonished by how he sees the game in front of him.

 

[WinterLion]

He will make us a better team... but hfboards will still hate on him for "looking bad"...

 

[Habs Halifax]

Strawman argument. As if there’s no in between.

What's your overall point? Reinbacher won't reach top 4D level in the NHL?

 

[Benstheman]

Reinbacher is top 4 next season with the Habs.

 

[Goalfield13]

If Reinbacher stays healthy on this playoff run, I think it would put a lot of fears to rest, including mine. Seems he is playing well on average, which is pretty great considering the time he lost. I hope management keeps both Mailloux and Reibacher and focuses our other assets to get a 2C. I think both are more important than Hage at this point.

While I agree that both young RD are important, so is Hage, IMO. He's the only prospect in the organization with 2C potential.

If he gets us a 2C with term from a team wanting to rebuild, I do it. Hage isn't a sure thing to even be a C let alone a 2C.

Pretty much no prospect is a sure thing -- including Reinbacher or Mailloux. That's why it's important to have depth in the prospect pool. The two areas where the Habs have the biggest lack of depth are at RD and top 6 center. If you're trading away one of the few (or only one) you have, it better be for something very good -- and long term.

That's why I said that Hage is also a very important prospect -- IMO equally important as Reinbacher or Mailloux.

More important than Mailloux.

 

[rahad]

Reinbacher is top 4 next season with the Habs.

Maybe not in 2025. He could be top 4 in 2026 (after the trade deadline).

[MasterD]

Reinbacher is top 4 next season with the Habs.

Easily.

If his trajectory stays the same and his injuries are behind him, he might turn into a RD Roman Hamrlik. Which would be so, so helpful.

Let's hope so.

 

[26Mats]

Reinbacher is top 4 next season with the Habs.

Who's he going to beat out: Hutson, Guhle, Matheson, or Carrier?

Everyone should be very happy with a Harmlik type of D. He have been 1st overall and great career aswell.

 

[JadedRandom]

Who's he going to beat out: Hutson, Guhle, Matheson, or Carrier?

Reinbacher could stand to play some more AHL games next season if the team signs a long-term UFA for next year or make a trade for a top-4 D.

If not, then Reinbacher is pretty much NHL-bound.

And what could end up happening is that we'd sign/acquire someone this Summer and then maybe let Matheson go next year whilst we graduate Reinbacher for 2026-2027 and give more regular icetime to guys like Struble/Xhekaj as pure LDs instead of as a rotating cast of misplayed LDs on the right of any of Huston/Guhle/Matheson.

 

[Kojo]

Who's he going to beat out: Hutson, Guhle, Matheson, or Carrier?

Guhle made the team at around the same age. Guhle is a nice player but Reinbacher has more offensive upside. They can be 4a and 4b. If you need offence you put Reinbacher in and if you need defence you put Guhle in.

 

[Spearmint Rhino]

Who's he going to beat out: Hutson, Guhle, Matheson, or Carrier?

In a perfect world Matheson is gone and Carrier is on the 3rd pairing.
