Prospect Info: David Reinbacher

[dackelljuneaubulis02]

This place is insane right now lol.

Guys, I get it, it isn't a sexy pick but trust, this guy will be a stud for a long time. He put up incredible stats in his draft season in a men's league and his biggest strength is his defense. We got a good one.

He almost paced for Josi’s ppg in the same league at the same age. He’s not super flashy but he’s very efficient.

Underrated offensive upside not unlike Guhle

 

[Habitant#1]

I feel so bad for this kid, he needs to exceed every expectation to win the fans favour..

 

[DramaticGloveSave]

Let's just hope he's really the next Moritz Seider...

He’s not, he’s not that dynamic. Hope is he’s another Guhle.

 

[Frank JT]

How I see things. Molson didn'twant Michkov and HuGo likes Reinbacher a lot. They hasd the option to trade down with the Flyers, but Arizona wanted a big D (they took Simachev), and Reinbacher wouldn't have been there at 7th.

 

[BehindTheTimes]

I immensely feel more worried about Slaf now that I know our scouting staff is definitively clueless

I feel bad for Price. WTF was that. You didn’t rehearse the name first.

 

[Canadiens98]

Best of luck to the kid. I hope the fans aren't too harsh with him, he didn't ask for this. Will be supporting him 100%.

 

[Gillings]

Because Arizona was taking t

I'm not pissed but everyone knows I called this months ago. It was so obvious.

I just don't know how you don't trade down. Very happy with the prospect though.

Because Arizona was taking reinbacher.

Everyone has Arizona taking him and now the superstar walks up to the Philly floor wondering what happened.

 

[Habfan10]

We already have 2 great Defensive prospect with Mailloux and Hutson. Why add another one. We needed offensive talent. We are never going to have a 90pts player....

Hey it’s never a bad thing. The high end centre wasn’t there so take the high end D

 

[Frank JT]

How I see things. Molson didn't want Michkov and HuGo likes Reinbacher a lot. They hasd the option to trade down with the Flyers, but Arizona wanted a big D (they took Simachev), and Reinbacher wouldn't have been there at 7th.

 

[Belial]

Imagine wishing for 40 points from your 5th overall when the best D are posting 80+

As far as I know, 40+ includes 80...

 

[Kennerback]

I feel so bad for this kid, he needs to exceed every expectation to win the fans favour..

Kid didn’t deserve this.

 

[TheBuriedHab]

Lol he and the habs are getting torn up on social media. Feel bad for the kid

 

[FrankMTL]

I still have PTSD from the last defenseman Montreal drafted in the first round named David.

 

[Goalfield13]

G/H have banked on Slafkovsky, Dach, Newhook and Reinbacher. They lucked out on Hutson. It's going to be interesting. I wouldn't bet against any of those names, TBH.

 

[NORiculous]

How I see things. Molson didn't want Michkov and HuGo likes Reinbacher a lot. They hasd the option to trade down with the Flyers, but Arizona wanted a big D (they took Simachev), and Reinbacher wouldn't have been there at 7th.

If Molson had a say, he needs to sale the team.

 

[windycity]

The Habs don’t change. That’s what I gather of all of this.

Nope, play it safe when they shouldn't

 

[Kaladin]

or they got a stud D. LOL,

This board is beyond predictable.

He has a long long way to go before he'd ever be considered a stud D. We'd be lucky if he ended up a top #2 at this point.

Best of luck to the kid. I hope the fans aren't too harsh with him, he didn't ask for this. Will be supporting him 100%.

Of course we'll support him. He's a Habs and had nothing to do with being selected over better players. What this really does is put HuGo under the spotlight. This makes me extremely concerned about their decision making.

 

[OnTheRun]

I hope you're right. Getting a Pietrangelo clone would be sexy af.

That's pretty much what he project as... if everything goes well of course.
No one talk about Pietrangelo because he's super vanilla, but the guy is an absolute rock in any D-corp.

 

[gusfring]

Remember when Pezzetta scored against the Sabres in a shootout? This is what you get.

Alex Newhook and David Reinbacher.

Ouch.

 

[FLHabs]

He’s not, he’s not that dynamic. Hope is he’s another Guhle.

He seems to be a pretty good skater from what I've seen. Very solid defensively with a good strong shot too. Let's just hope he hits.

 

[Adam Michaels]

After the selection, Hughes mentioned that the scouts liked Reinbacher from he beginning of the season and they were impressed with his progress throughout the year.

 

[BJCOLLINS]

On the record, after Smith was gone I would have gambled on Michkov.

getting the first D picked from any draft is always a good pick. However, I’m let down again by our teams top 10 pick. wow….I would probably have moved back if D was a target.

 

[Skip Bayless]

As much as the pick is unsexy, I must remind the Hutson cult that if your boy has a future in MTL, it will be in big part thanks to having an RD who can play defense against top fwds, and that's what Reinbacher is.

 

[Beaker]

Probably showed great maturity in his interview. Must’ve been the job.

 

[MonkeyBusiness]

This was expected. As much as I love Michkov I knew they weren't going to pick him. Let's hope Reinbacher becomes our #1 D; I have a feeling him and Guhls are going to make a great pairing.
