I would guess so, Michkov doesn't fit their identity.

in 95% of the draft, dman are always picked top 5. I think Reinbacher was in-demand also evidenced by ARZ picks and also i don't think NSH would have been that agressive for Michkov if they did not have interview with him prior to that.

We can only speculate but it could be for Reinbacher or for someone else.

Could had been Leonard ???? Anyway, knowing that Nashville is very good at drafting d-men, could we assume that Reinbacher should become an elite d-man at NHL level, and was the right pick at #5 ?

They did not have some bad experiences with Russian speaking players (Kostitsyns, Radulov)

I disagree.
Radulov experiment went great.
Kovalev, Markov as well.

I was talking about Nashville, not MTL.

My apologies. I feel slightly ashamed.

It was well publicized prior to the draft Nashville's scouting team had been advised to go for high upside picks. Go big or go home type picks. That screams Michkov too me. Doubt they would have picked Reinbacher.

They tried to get SJ and MTL pick, so just by elimination it had to be Smith or Popcorn. If they wanted Michboy the Mutts pick should have been their target and they didn't go for it.

How do we know they didn't go for it?

 

[OnTheRun]

How do we know they didn't go for it?

Because it was widely reported that they were after after pick #4~5 and nothing below that? It's not exactly 100% but it would be a bit weird to be open about trying to get pick 4~5 but super secretive when it come to pick 6~7. So the most likely explanation is their guy was gone.

 

[Scriptor]

His contract won't slide in '24-'25.

I thought it slid until he came to North America. Must've been wrong.

 

[Mudz]

His shift are too shorts.

He got the lowest TOI but all the def got 18 shifts.

That's something I saw a lot in Kloten. But it seemed to be a team directive. I feel like they will tell him to stay longer.

 

[Fatbiggie]

Loved his first game. Nice heads-up play on his assist.

 

[SlafySZN]

Loved the kid tonight.

His first non-official NHL point

 

[HuGo Sham]

thought he was great tonight. very impressed. 18? wow.
Great size and skating, fluid, high IQ. He's 100% going to
be a top 2. terrific all around game.
Reminds me (potentially) of a better version of jacob slavin

 

[Pompeius Magnus]

Excellent game all told for an 18 years old Dman. He kept things simple with the puck and was where he needed to be at all times on defense. The smarts and awareness are definitely pro level.

 

[Jack Skellington]

Great player. I did feel like he wasn’t out there much and I was always looking for him. The correct play usually comes off of his stick.

 

[McGees]

People will be getting tattoos of him and Guhle pairing in a couple years.

 

[Mudz]

He's gonna get better playing with better players. I hope he plays one of game #5 or #6.

 

[SlafySZN]

I’m not sure he will.

If i heard Gorton at the golf tournament right, he said Reinbacher would probably get 1 pre-season game and get sent back in Switzerland.

That was clearly expectations management. It has to be. It was pretty much confirmed by the Gascon article. I don't feel like double checking but pretty sure Gorton said they would start with a game and go from there, not that it was one game.

David is already better than 26. He has to get more games, he deserves it.

You must however consider that Swiss League has started already and you don't want him to be too late in his preparation because he ll need to be competitive !

Basu & Engles said they heard Preds were very interested in Reinbacher

 

[Hostile Offer]

This kind of reminds me of Kotkaniemi in the sense that the pick was immediately panned by the fans and then the preseason rolled around, most saw him in NA action for the first time and "oh wow this kid is amazing" and the hype train was suddenly off the station. Different players and different management team but I hope they don't rush Reinbacher and botch his development like they did with KK.
