Prospect Info: David Reinbacher

[Lafleurs Guy]

No it wasn't. Not at all. People weren't pissed that we chose Price over Kopitar, because that wasn't the situation at all. People were pissed that we took a goalie because we already had a Hart winner in Theodore.

More people wanted Brule.

Yep. I've had people say we should've taken Kopitar and then Quick (who went a few rounds in) as though you can just cherrypick this stuff. Totally stupid crap like this.

It doesn't work that way. If we don't take Price, we very likely take Brule.

 

[dinodebino]

He will quickly shut up those who complain and haven’t even see him

OK, Vachon, I respect you a lot. So I would like for you to give us your best sales pitch on the guy. Why was he worth more than the Russian phenom or the other forwards that went after?

 

[Garbageyuk]

Geesh, could this guy get any clueless-er

The Russian excuse? LMAO. Why was a Russian taken ahead of him then? This is called digging your heels in, everyone. Embarrassing.

 

[hockeyguy2022]

One can't run his draft based on the fans misplaced anger. I'm sure some will dunk the kid because he commited the unforgivable sin of being chosen instead of the other guy... But yeah, the GM can't control how the fans behave.

absolutely. But the GM can just do the right thing. This wasn't it.

 

[Naslundforever]

At least he'll please our analytics team with his zone exits.

If he can fetch it and pass it to Hutson that sounds like a plan to me.

 

[JT3]

If Reinbacher is at prospect camp you guys will realize quickly how good he is. Probably be a man amongst boys.

 

[Grate n Colorful Oz]

Well, you guys wanted an analytics department in Montreal, one that had influence. I think you have your answer tonight, judging by all the analytics geeks' charts tonight. He was the guy to be picked. Some even call him a 'cornerstone defenceman'.

We'll see. I will go back and look at his clips now. And eat chips. Because when I'm sad, I eat chips.

With onion dip?

 

[BehindTheTimes]

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

Lmao

 

[absolute garbage]

I think there's a good chance he will be a top 4 D. And top 4 RHD are always very valuable.

But how good exactly will he be? Legit 1st pair guy like Pietrangelo, or a tier or two below that? Who knows.

So it's not that he won't be a good player, it's that they passed on a player who I think has a good chance of becoming a gigastar. That's the reasoning why I think this pick might end up looking like a huge miss in 5 years.

Also, I don't think there was a big difference between him and Willander, another RHD who Canucks picked at #11. So I do think they could've traded down.

[BergevinBurner]

Where do we think he'll be playing next season?

 

[dinodebino]

With onion dip?

No. I prefer chive dip. But I don't have any. So it'll be salt and vinegar tonight.

 

[Ozmodiar]

A top 4 D.
Plus Slaf.

The leafs got matthews and marner in their tank years.

Willander had similar production in a JR league, and Reinbachers calling card is his defense. Unless Willander's development takes an exponential curve, they aren't comparable imo.

If Michkov was off the board, Reinbacher was my choice. He's going to deliver for us.

But........damn. Michkov was still there.

I agree, and I think we got the potential best D in the draft.. but with michkov is there... You don't pick him?

Disgusting.. and I saw it ALL over hughes face once the pick was in...

"uh oh how am I going to answer to this"

 

[Grate n Colorful Oz]

A lot a salt?

 

[Xirik]

This draft definitely shows that its way harder to get top line centers and Defenseman through trades then Wingers.

They are simply more valuable.

Anyways I'm guessing the Habs board will have the smallest fanbase on this site based off the reactions so far.

 

[Benstheman]

He didn’t fall because of said talent you realize this yes?

Why did he fall in though? Because if there is a Russian factor, it didn’t seem to bother Arizona with their picks of Simashev and But.

 

[JT3]

A top 4 D.
Plus Slaf.

The leafs got matthews and marner in their tank years.

And they can't do F all in the playoffs because they have no defense, who cares?

 

[Gillings]

The draft is straight boring.. It is only exciting for HARCORE hockey fans.. And even then.. Boring.

There is next to nothing entertaining about this shit.. It's SO mundane.

 

[Stive Morgan]

Gonna be the contrarian once again and say I like the pick. Took a lot of balls to pass on Michkov.

 

[sukimono]

The Russian excuse? LMAO. Why was a Russian taken ahead of him then? This is called digging your heels in, everyone. Embarrassing.

Lol are you actually arguing that the russian factor isn’t a thing? Kid fell to 7th, not 24th. Get a grip you’re just being intellectually dishonest. You really think there’s a realm where Dâvide gets called prior to Mitchkov if the kid is from Moosejaw? Lmao

 

[dinodebino]

A lot a salt?

Hahaha. Yes, I feel salty. No, the Jean Coutu bag. I love them.

 

[HuGort]

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

Both Organizations are about the same. Joke of league

You back mate! Me semble que I hadn't seen you in a while, no?
