Prospect Info: David Reinbacher

[SnapVirus]

Smells like David Fischer.

Slafkovsky i was not for that pick. But he had a personnality, physical attribute, charisma and i understood it was a bad draft.

Reinbacher. I had him between 10-15. I had Simachev before him. I dont like that pick. Best case : Jeff Petry. Im pissed.

 

[River Meadow]

Slafkovsky and Reinbacher

Or

Jiricek and Michkov !?

R.I.P.

Just R.I.P

 

[Vachon23]

Ya clearly we should follow the Arizona Coyotes' strategy, they clearly know what they are doing

Bill Armstrong was the scout in STL who draft most of the players that won the cup in 2019, so yes not a bad idea

 

[Gravity]

People should go re-read the Price draft thread. Same disgust can be found there too.

Reinbacher isn't nearly as bad as people here seem to think.

It's disappointing only because it's a "team building" pick and not a wildly offensive player pick.

He's a REALLY good player.

And it's warranted. Still take Kopitar over Price 10/10.

 

[KevSkillz4]

Not my first pick for Habs, but one thing for sure, the defensive group is set for long time.

Everyone would be hype about to see a Lane Hutson - David Reinbacher duo.

 

[Seb]

Slafkovsky and Reinbacher

Or

Jiricek and Michkov !?

They had the chance to pick Michkov, they didn't. It's a false dilemma, Michkov was a DND.

 

[Garbageyuk]

Expectations are one thing. Being completely clueless and passing on a generational talent is something else.

“Generational talent” lmao. Name one generational talent that was passed over by 6 teams. You cant even use the Russian excuse anymore because he wasn’t even the first Russian taken lmao. This board went full nutjob crazy over Michkov, tinfoil hats, conspiracy theories and everything. It’s over now, time to come back to reality.

 

[Sam de Mtl]

Well, Michkov's level of talent would have been exciting, but Reinbacher is an interesting pick too. Guhle - Reinbacher looks like a really good pairing for years to come that can really anchor our team.

 

[NORiculous]

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.

Does Reinbacher have generational potential?

 

[Grate n Colorful Oz]

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

X?

 

[MarkovsKnee]

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

Good to know. Spending another year in NL would be fine for him.

 

[Lafleurs Guy]

needed someone to play with Guhle.

Guhle-Reinbacher
Hutson-Barron
Xhekaj-Mailloux

It is a good group. We have that going for us.

But damn... we still don't have that franchise scorer. I think CC will be great for goals but he's never going to be a top 10 point getter. We could've had a couple of 50 goal guys in the lineup.

 

[JT3]

I think some of you have a hard time conceiving that a pick can be both BPA and a need. they aren't mutually exclusive.

This is the case here.

It's ironic that everybody keeps saying we NEED an elite forward but somehow taking Reinbacher is us drafting for need.

If michkov is a generational talent why is he going 7? Why is he being picked behind a fellow Russian who'd biggest flaw is offensive production?

Don't get me wrong I was actually hoping we would pick him, but the fact is the KHL is probably the weakest it's been in a long time, and you can't compare Matvei to his peers the last year and a half. There are a billion real red flags both on and off the ice. There's a very possible chance he's not the hero that 3/4 of this board has psyched themselves into believing.

We have a D core that if developed properly projects to be good enough to win a stanley cup, and I think people are underrating our forwards too. Caufield can score 50. Dach and Suzuki have all the potential to be a 1a 1b. And then there's Slafkovsky, who knows what he turns into but the sky is the limit. We're in good shape.

 

[Adam Michaels]

In Josi's case it was his D+1. In his D year he had 8 pts in 35.

True.

And also something I learned leading up to the draft regarding the Swiss league, teams were allowed to have one more imported player on their roster than before. I believe they were only allowed 5, but now they can carry 6. And also, a lot of players who left the KHL came to the Swiss league. So the league had more quality players now.

The person who mentioned this pointed it out to show how impressive what Reinbacher did.

 

[red devil]

Reinbacher ready to put the work in and understands he needs to be ready to make the jump to the NHL

 

[HabzSauce]

Feels like I've been on a rollercoaster the past few hours.

When the pick was announced I hated it. Then it immediately starting growing on me and as of 9:00pm I'm pretty damn excited about it.

Besides michkov who would have realistically been a better choice? Ryan Leonard would have been solid. But overall impact on a game, would he bring more impact than reinbacher could?

I honestly love this pick. His tools are very nice. VERY nice.

Yup. Posters on this board have a history of overreacting like little children and ending up plain wrong. We'll only know in 3-4 years if it was a good pick or not.

 

[GravelTheOne]

This guy can fly.

 

[Garo]

Another thing I like about him is that his team isn't exactly a powerhouse, they got promoted in 21-22 and as they moved up a league Reinbacher also moved up a lot in influence, becoming their best overall defenceman arguably.

To give an example as to how moving with a promoted team isn't always easy, Simon Kindschi was the best performing defenceman for Kloten over the past few years, 27 years old now, right in his prime. Scored 40 and 35 points in the B league. In the A league? 2. Éric Faille was their best scorer for three years, just went from 72 points to 24. To double your production as a draft eligible player on a promoted team in a league that is notoriously hard on young players is really impressive.

 

[No More Subban]

Slafkovsky and Reinbacher

Or

Jiricek and Michkov !?

i thought it's wright/michkov vs slaf/reinbacher

i choose the big kids

Oof. Yeah you’re right my bad he just went nearly a ppg at 17 yrs old in the 2nd best league in the world. Looking forward to punt 110 pts for the flyers in 3 years.

 

[StCaufield]

And it's warranted. Still take Kopitar over Price 10/10.

In your opinion for sure

 

[MarkovsKnee]

Kind of an odd feeling. Simultaneously fine yet underwhelmed.

Pretty much this. It's not a terrible pick, just not an exciting one. I'm feeling pretty whelmed right now.

 

[Whitesnake]

My jinx....

Habs at the World Championships

Listened to Button on TSN690 last week and he compared Reinbacher as being in the same mold as a Adam Larsson type. He also said that he had ASP (compared him to Zubov) and Willander ahead of Reinbacher for dmen in this draft. You'd best take cover right now Craig b'y. :) Yeah, I have no idea...
