We will hope for sure but that's the management logic IMO.

Same for Reinbacher, he might not be the best player in the first couple of years but the ceiling they see in him will make him the best pick eventually.

So when people say they went with safe picks, I think it's the complete opposite!

They gambled on those two picks reaching their highest potential possible.

I also don't think they went for safe picks. This is certainly not an angle they should be criticized from.

People who are onboard and understand the type of team they are trying to build, (even a number of smart Michkovites) see the logic in what they have done so far. I'm just happy we were able to potentially fill two gaping holes this draft. First Newhook who has enough skill/tools to vault over the majority of our forwards will be appreciated from day one as a sorely needed injection of talent into our top six. Both Suzuki and Dach had at least one questionable winger on their flanks most nights. The only time they didn't was when they played together and the results then were eye opening. Even if Newhook is not the answer in two or three years he can help with the progression now when it is most critical. We've already touched on Reinbacher and where he projects to fit in three years. Going into the draft what I hoped to get with the fifth pick was a guy who would be roster ready next season. Having selected the Dman that probably won't/shouldn't happen and a Seider type of graduation is fine. This is where grabbing Newhook becomes a bonus for me. I laugh at a lot of people who were whining when the Fla. pick kept dropping and then started whining when we traded it. Teams trade second round picks all the time and can often not even have one come draft day. They way I look at it we picked fifth and ended up with Newhook and Reinbacher. Not a bad haul considering.

I agree. Reinbacher was a complete unknown at this time last year. Michkov has been a big name for almost three years and would have been the "safer" pick. HuGo wants to build the team from back-end and I assume/hope they're done there. Time to move on to the forwards. The problem with not drafting Michkov is that the opportunity to draft that type of talent almost never happens but we had a chance last week and passed. That's why I don't like the pick, nothing against the Austrian.

I am not sure at all about that. Michkov was not the safest pick and 5 teams saw that.

At this moment we have quite a few prospects and young players who may be able to fill the 6 spots on D, and that's it. Yes the young guys impressed last year in the sense they proved they could play in the NHL.

I'm not for starting to trade young D because someone wants to start picking the winners ftom our drafting. Let them compete and see who emerges.

In terms of avoiding blowback and misplaced criticism he was definitely the safe pick.
I have no problem with my management not picking a guy they don't really like I'd be far more pissed if they did.

To be clear, he was one of the safe picks, not the only one. But now that we have him, hoping for the best.

So he was 16 on the cusp of turning 17 in this footage and by all accounts he only started his climb up the ranks the following season. Awesome.
The first thing I noticed was the pace and the quality of the opposition was far superior to many of the Michkov clips I saw. I also don't remember seeing much of Michkov from up top where you can see the entire ice. I like to see what an individual player is doing in relationship to where the puck is.

Thank You

Yes safe to be sure for entirely diffferent reasons.

And you would know those reasons because you get privileged info from management? :sarcasm:

Nobody knows anything other than an early pick looking like a combo of safety and needs.

I like his poise, there's no panic in his game. Shows very good understanding of the game surrounding him. Just seems to make the right decisions. Good stick, good size, good speed. Solid.

And...all this at 18 (very mature)...imagine Reinbacher at 20-21!!

(no specific order...Seider, Reinbacher, Power, J.Sanderson, Jiricek, Nemec...all of these dmen will/should end up VERY important to their teams' top 4 d-core...so glad we at least have one of them...now our near future top-4 D-core looks way more legit).

Go Reinbacher Go!!
Go Habs Go!!
