The only issue I have with that is as outsiders looking in, how are we to know what his input is and how good of a job he’s doing? Plus, he has strong ties with Gorton from their Boston days.

The most we can say is that we may not like his face or that he gives off bicep broski vibes from his departed buddies — but that still doesn’t mean he’s incompetent.

I remember Gorton talking about sitting with him at a scouting expedition and remarking on how astute he thought he was. FWIW

Congratulations to Montreal for selecting Herr Reinbacher. Saw him play a few games last spring and played like a veteran,yes it's not the NHL but he's just a kid. Found a good interview with him and should show a bit more of what he is like,smart cookie no doubt. Goes without saying obviously as he comes from a historic baking family.

Baking? :huh:

I could have sworn it was a Popcorn Empire.

Damnation we have so many charismatic kids it's going to fun not having to listen to the standard rote. Frickin' Struble can step into a broadcast role tomorrow he's so comfortable with the cameras. There's something about that kid I'm telling ya.

You have to go way back when names were given by occupation. Apparently the family were good pure bakers,hence the name Rein,meaning pure and Bacher meaning baker.

I feel as though this is like putting the obese girl on the cover of the SI Swimsuit edition, just encouraging unhealthy behaviour and pretending that it belongs in rational discourse.

Anyways I hope the lad is alright and is happy, some of the discourse that I saw from him gave me pause for concern.

Due to the fact that GMs are, by nature, a very intimidating lot, they can convince their regional scouts into agreeing on an evaluation of a player, even if the entire year's scouting reports run contrary to what the GM says.

For example, I know of one team that had its GM go to the Prospects Game and absolutely fall in love with a player that the whole staff had agreed wasn't worthy of being a first-round pick. His off-ice character was sketchy, he was a bad teammate, and everybody knew he was a very risky pick. The scouting staff was in its first season with the team, and the more the GM raved about the prospect, the quieter they grew because they didn't want to disagree with their boss.

Even the head scout started to hedge his bets. Eventually, he started to try and find positive things to say about the prospect and, on draft day, the team found the player still available at their pick in the 20s. They practically ran to the podium to scoop him up. The prospect never panned out, and the team wasted a valuable first-round pick.

Great article. I did not know about it. That other excerpt from the same article is exactly why Michkov was not a slam dunk. (he really is a little pos)

The shortcut of ignoring character

One of the biggest improvements in player evaluation and drafting has come with teams spending much more time and effort evaluating the player as a person and not just as an on-ice product.

Through the use of background checks, interviews and psychological evaluations, we have gotten to know players on a much more intimate level than in years past. Scouts who fail to put in this hard work and resort to just evaluating a player based on his on-ice performance are setting themselves up for failure.

It's not a glamorous part of the job, but setting up meetings with guidance councilors, billets and teachers can provide vital information on the character of a kid and whether he has the makeup to become a star or a bust.

I have numerous colleagues who complain that "Everybody only says good things, so why bother?" But the truth is that if you ask the right questions and put in the time, you can really start to get a good feel about whether this 18-year-old player has the capabilities to handle stardom and money.

The lesson: There is way more to the job then just watching the kid play.
