Prospect Info: David Reinbacher

[MarkJ]

I will support the kid 100% even if I had 3-4 guys ahead of him at 5.

 

[Colezuki]

Pass on a possible all star winger for a sure thing top 4 D that could be a #1RHD. It is what it is. I would have drafted Michkov but I understand their decision.

My take as well

 

[MarkovsKnee]

So I assume we rush him right into the NHL next season?

They might put him in Laval.

 

[Gravity]

I did have Reinbacher ahead of Leonard but not drafting Michkov hurts. They better be f***ing right that Michkov won't translate/come over here and that Reinbacher becomes a Heiskanen/Seider. A #4 dman would be a disaster of a pick for #5.

Hanafin 2.0

 

[Boss Man Hughes]

Watch it be David Fischer No.2.

It's f***ing unbelievable, I swear complete madness, how this team cannot draft elite offensive talent in the top 5.

Thank god for smurf Caufield dropping to us at 15 in 2019, he is truly the only hope of this franchise to ever get a PPG player in the near future. The level of collective depression on this board without him would be unreal.

They just trade for an elite talent in Newhook.

 

[Blame the referee]

Same as 2019…inversé!!!

2019: Philly took cam York, we pick caufield

2023: we pick Reinbacher, they pick Michkov

 

[NORiculous]

Great. He scored like 10 points against the worst team. Good player but he’s not as infallible as everyone makes him out to be. Can’t wait for Reinbacher to shut him down.

The worse team… which was better than the best team face by Bedard. But even if you don’t think this is true, remove those and he still had a very good season.

 

[vokiel]

They might put him in Laval.

Wouldn't be a bad thing

 

[Frank JT]

Not excited about the pick but we’ll all love him when he dominates with the Habs, just like Guhle.

We'll love him when Michkov will dominates the Habs for years...

 

[Guy Larose]

Shocked that we went with a blueliner. Wanted Mich. Would've made the Nashvile trade for Askarov and the picks.

All that being said... I hope this guy is a stud for us. I hope we look back on this as a great decision.

Welcome to the team!

What trade? Once again, someone starts with a scenario and people run with it. The only thing that was said was that Askarov was available, that's it.

Not even a chance. He's an NHLer... the question is just if he can develop into a 1st pairing guy. He's almost a lock to a be a Top-4 guy

 

[Dharvey08]

Looks like a safe bet to make the league.

Will he develop offensive skills ? That’s another story.

Not a fan of the pick as we desperately need some skill upfront but it’s nothing against Him I think he will be good.

 

[red devil]

They might put him in Laval.

Interview on Sportsnet he said he has one year he has to do of schooling

 

[le_sean]

The worse team… which was better than the best team face by Bedard. But even if you don’t think this is true, remove those and he still had a very good season.

If you want to go that route, Reinbacher had a great season against better competition than Bedard as well. So I’m not really sure what you’re trying to prove.

 

[Fish on The Sand]

Carey Price…..and maybe the whole team….shit the bed there.

Maybe Price was trying to buy time so that Hughes could change his mind.

 

[Supersonic]

I’m making a post now that I’m home in the hopes that this ages well and I can clown on people

In retrospect this will be a great pick. Big RHD who will be paired with Hutson or Guhle one day and will be one of the best pairings in the league

 

[MarkovsKnee]

Habs were impressed when they found out Reinbacher wasn't willing to bomb his teammates.

He's Austrian. He would've been in the German sub. Lol

 

[sukimono]

Lets wait and see how that turns out, shall we. I hear a bunch of these comments at every draft and every trade, then people come back with "I guess I'll eat crow" as if it validates them for acting like a big baby the first time around.

Fair enough, but its also fair to point out that we did not go BPA and that could very well turn out to be a massive blunder. Educated guess,no one knows for sure.

 

[Dawnbringer]

Maybe he's our Seider? What's the difference between the Swiss-A and the DEL? Reinbacher put up a lot of points, more than Seider in his draft year.

Currently Swiss NL is 2nd in Europe, DEL is 3rd. Based on CHL (Champions Hockey League) rankings.

 

[DesmondDekker]

Slafkovsky and Reinbacher

Or

Jiricek and Michkov !?

 

[GlassesJacketShirt]

Kind of an odd feeling. Simultaneously fine yet underwhelmed.

 

[didimentionlarseller]

I had such high hopes for this draft first time in such a long time thats its a really deep draft and we end up with a second pairing or third pairing man and a reclamation project in Newhook - Habs management bought the magic beans again.....again.....again

 

[JC Superstar]

I like the pick, but

If Michkov pans out, Rainmaker better become Hedman level or else this will look super bad.

I see a great pair with the Habs: Rainmaker and Haymaker.

 

[Natey]

They might put him in Laval.

He literally said he's going to play in Switzerland and finish school right after we drafted him.
