Prospect Info: David Reinbacher

[Bombshell11]

well those entitled people need to be called out. like grow tf up. i don't think i've ever seen this overreaction before over a draft pick. not even after kotkaniemi and slafkovsky picks. it even got pretty chaotic here. it's embarrassing some people can't control their emotions.

Take 2 minutes,

Think about who is more entitled here in this scenario

The owner who's collecting millions of real cold cash from fans by selling them bs storylines, not giving them what they want, playing PR games, keeping incompetent GMs for far to long, throwing under the bus the player that connected the most with the fans and asking them to shut the f*** up and keep paying their tickets?

or

The young fan, who cares about his club and wants nothing more but to see it succeed so he gets emotional when he sees the clown show that is our organisation who send Carey Price totally unprepared to the podium and makes a fool of himself and the clowns behind.

This whole PR move awfully ressembles what Disney does when it massacres a franchise, it turns againts its own fanbase and calls them cry babies, it never takes accountability.

Its not the fault of the prospect but for a club to exist, it needs a fanbase behind ready to pay money. The Molson have mistreated the fanbase for far too long and now that the economy is going to the shitters what will happen is that you will see a whole lot more people not giving a shit about maners.

No the Molsons are the culprits here, they're the ones feeling entitled.

Reinbacher does not play like Josi.

He's basically Tom Gilbert

/s

 

[Archijerej]

Thanks for posting. So the quotes that went viral are in fact misleading and lacking context.

Yep. I've listened to the interview to find for myself all those subtle changes of tone people were describing (and building multi-storey theories based on them) and was disappointed. I guess my English is not so good.

 

[26Mats]

Reinbacher does not play like Josi.

and many saying he doesn't play like Larsson either. Much more upside.

 

[Habricot]

I wasn't mentioning Newhook. About him yeah he looks promising. I'm sure he is able to produce way more pts than what he did with Avs limited time. I think we are rebuilding fine with few peices here and there. We are in a trap with old overpaid vets, about 2 years for Hoff+Dvo. Gallagher, I prefer not thinking about him. If right now all the bad vets were gone out of the payroll, I would be smiling, and I guess you too bro.

About the weight it's not as a close idea in concrete, In can think we could win with few small players but they must check more boxes and one of them is the speed, great speed. Stanley Cups winners are often a good group in the right age, 6 feet and more, they have a good system of play and together they create a pressure with their speed and grit. I mean, it looks very cliché but true it happens often that way.

I am sorry, Gallagher is not a bad vet. A bad contract maybe but not a bad vet!

 

[ReHabs]

The hockey world is very small. I'm willing to bet that everyone in the Habs org has only one or two degrees of separation from michkov.

If they didn't directly know someone who knew michkov the player and person, they definitely knew someone who knew someone.

They made their decision on the player before they interviewed him and whether the kid wanted to play in Montreal or not made no difference.

This seems to be the case

They had little to no interest in Michkov and it could very likely be a culture thing like Bobrov awkwardy asserted.

Time will tell if the future D2 is better for the Habs than the guy who was smoking the KHL at his age.

I wanted Michkov, but Reinbacher has set his own records in a pro league too. Don't underestimate him.

 

[Mad]

On athletic podcast, Basu said there were a lot of teams that wanted to make a trade with Habs in order to draft Reinbacher (as opposed to everyone thinking it was all about Michkov) as they anticipated Yotes taking him.
He was a very sought after player.
Looking forward to him developing into a pillar here to help team and humble the haters.

Which makes sense as Hughes said some teams who called to trade up would pick him.

Those type of trades don’t come without some type of insurance especially that high in the draft. They had a pretty good indication of who would go around the pick.

From what a poster said, Arizona went to see him 27 times. Teams have scouts everywhere so they would have likely picked up on that. Many knew Arizona would have picked him if he was there at six.

 

[TopTenPlayz]

Wish Reinbacher the best. Will always be cheering for the guy as he seems like a very nice and humble person. But this pick was based on need 100%. Hughes said early in his press conference that if Reinbacher was a left shot, then they wouldn't be as interested as they were. I mean if that isn't drafting based on needs then what is?

If his offensive skillset is a little limited, like the scouting community says, then I hope he turns out to be a Mcdonagh or Slavin instead of a Petry, or Larsson

 

[ReHabs]

I don’t rate the NLA so much because despite all the hype from Guy Boucher and Daniel Winnick, the league has not graduated many players to the NHL and its leading scorers are ancient NHL busts. Seriously look at last year’s top5. They’re all in their late 30s.

If Reinbacher makes good it’ll be because he’s improved. The current Reinbacher plays in a much less competitive league.

The Swiss league isn't a development league. young players don't get muh ice time so they don't go there. Reinbacher was just exceptionally good at his young age, so was able to go there and get ice time at such a young age, like rare players Josi and Austin Matthews.

Pietrangelo is another comparable being mentioned.

That would be optimal

Sure but the NLA still doesn’t get many NHL draftees come through it. It’s a big unknown variable in this stew.

 

[Coffee]

Respect to Habs fans. Now I know why you guys stay off main boards. There’s a clear bias against Habs and seems bigger/different than the Leafs one

the latter.

you call it a clown show based on what? because you didn't get the player you were hoping for? that's entitlement. price's blunder was all on him. it's so unnecessary to blame it on other people.

molson is a businessman. they will make decisions you're not going to like. that's part of the deal of being a sports fan. it's always been like that. we have ZERO control. but you know what you can control? how you spend your hard-earned money. you get to decide that, not them.

i swear man, it's not that hard to walk away from hockey if you don't like how they operate. set your priorities straight and come back. this team will still be here.

You don't need to kiss Molson's feet brother. We're more important than Molson, Hughes, and Gorton combined. We'll be here after they're long gone. Please keep that in mind. It sucks having a dipshit owner of our hometown team, you should allow for fans to vent about him without immediately cramming down our throats about how powerless we are. If not here and among fellow fans, then where can we vent?

We do our best to deserve it.

there are so many unknown variables when it comes to each prospect. Nothing can calm the anxiety of whether our recent 5th overall and 1st overall picks were used well and will help us contend in the future except being patient and waiting to see what we actually have, instead of being anxious about what we may or may not have.

The proof will be in the pudding. And some prospects take longer to develop than others.

 

[Schooner Guy]

What if Reinbacher is a head case?

Maybe he is. However I'm sure the team that keeps talking about the importance of their culture would have vetted that for their #5 overall pick.

 

[Schooner Guy]

The CHL graduates more players than NLA, KHL, SHL, Liiga. That doesn't mean it's better hockey. The key point is that it's impressive what Reinbacher did in that league as an 18-year old Dman just as it's impressive what Michkov did in the KHL.

 

[Frank Drebin]

We do our best to deserve it.

I know you're being a bit facetious, but I'll never feel embarrassed by or responsible for a fellow Habs fans actions. Those generalizing the fanbase as a whole are just as despicable as those feral fans sending hate messages to a kid.

Molson is not just a businessman, he’s an inheritor. He didn’t build, or even improve, anything. Molson ended up with a bunch of businesses and a franchise that make enough money that he doesn’t have to be smart or take good advice.

He can continue to muddle along for another 3 decades of mediocrity and keep his lifestyle and even his ego. Molson is rich enough he only needs to speak to sycophants.

Stick with the team if it’s fun but don’t expect caring or competence from ownership.

Take it up with Arpon Basu and Francois Gagnon. Bottom feeders.

Well, how is that a negative ? Most of the top 5 have either been in the AHL and most in NHL. They're veteran pro hockey players through and through. They would destroy any CHL club, it's a much harder league to be good in. The reason it hasn't graduated many NHL players would have more to do with the Swiss not being a hockey nation to the extent a place like Sweden is. If a Swede is serious about hockey, he'll go through the junior system, Allsvenskan and the SHL, and there are many, many more Swedes than Swiss players. The NLA has money though and can pay for import players. The same was true for Stutzle and Seider back with the DEL, where they were facing pros with years of experience. At some level, it's sometimes easier to project some of their skills as they're facing forwards and defensemen with pro habits.

 

[Grate n Colorful Oz]

It's showing you the "IQ level" of some hockey "fans"......

EQ. It has more to do with emotional intelligence. Lack of self-control (impulsivety), lack of bias control and lack of prosocial values are all related to emotional intelligence.

I've seen seemingly smart people act like children all my life.
