Next season.

 

[Kobe Armstrong]

I remember when the main board awarded us the best draft of 2012. They were all busts, all of them. At least Galch turned into Anderson.

I would bring back Andrighetto... he is putting up Bozon like numbers in the NLA

You're right. But it would be curious if he stays to play those seeing as he won't be there next year whether they stay or get relegated.

Hope he comes over right away. Seeing as he mostly wanted to go back to finish school.

Lose-lose situation for him, either he stays and wastes time or he leaves and gives up on his team

 

[LesCanadiens]

get him in laval

Based on how the coach has utilized him (tossing him around and back and forth on the PP etc), I would have to agree. He looked SO good in camp. And I think the smaller ice surface plays to his strengths (closing gaps, stick-checks and board-work). I think he'd develop much, much better and faster in Laval. Especially with the recent emergence of that team.

 

[Kobe Armstrong]

Absolute best case scenario is Dobson-lite, and I'm not saying that as a slight I think Dobson is the most deserving of the Norris this year. Reinbacher will never have a super polished offensive game but if he can defend 1v1 against star forwards and maintain a strong transition game, he should be able to rack up points. Dobson gets most of his points in transition

 

[Wats]

Next season.

Exactly, let him finish what he started. Who knows, might kick it up a notch. No point bringing him to another environment mid season.

Ehh.. Why light?
Reinbacher is ahead of Dobson at same age.

 

[Kobe Armstrong]

Cause Dobson is one of the best in the league, and that just isn't true

 

[The Great Weal]

No he isn't.

 

[MXD]

No he isn't.

Yes, he is.

Why do you imply that I didn't see Dobson prior to reaching the NHL?

He was certainly projecting into something and had very interesting upside. But it was only that : upside. And he reached it. But better than Reinbacher, at D+1, he was not.

 

[Kobe Armstrong]

Yes, he is.

Dobson won the memorial cup and the guy lafleur trophy in his D+1

Reinbacher's D+1 is tracking horribly, very few positives to take away

LOL a junior team award on a team he joined mid-season.
Nothing to do with what he was as a player.

Don't be disingenuous. Dobson was in the same situation at this point in his D+1, only he was traded early January. He had a way lower ppg than his draft year, around 0.5ppg on an absolute shit team. The trade saved his D+1.

What has Reinbacher done in his D+1? Besides regress.

I mean he was the best player on the team. What is the argument for Reinbacher who's producing less than his draft year? Dog shit team sure, but how are you evaluating that he's doing better than Dobson at the same age? If anything, I see the majority of people writing off this season for Reinbacher because of his team and injury when he was supposed to be one of the best dmen in the league.

 

[LesCanadiens]

He was excellent at camp and preseason. Looked like he wouldn't be out of place even this year. I wouldn't put any stock in playing for Kloten. So many of those euro leagues are hard to assess. Just look at Slaf and Liiga.

See my post above. A players situation can have a significant impact. He's back from an injury and he's on the second worst team in the league. What was Dobson's excuse for having shit production ? Truth of the matter is the excuse applied to him too.

Exactly, he had a pro game at 18 and looked very, very good against AHLers/NHLers at training camp. We'll know if he regressed come next year. For now, it seems very premature considering all the circumstances.

I still can't believe Dobson fell that much. I had him and Hughes nearly neck and neck with Hughes providing more offense but Dobson being better all around. Guess he fell since he was 150lbs at 6'3. Dobson was the only dman that I actually thought could be a Pietrangelo type player out of the millions of times a 2way dman got compared to Pietrangelo.

Dobson was a rock defensively and way underrated offensively. I still find Reinbacher to be even smarter as a player and just as underrated offensively. He doesn't have Dobson's skating though. Reinbachers growth plates weren't fused yet this summer so who knows if he'll end up 6'4" too. I just don't understand how people aren't patient when at the very same time Slaf is doing what he is. Don't people learn ? And the arguments are just terrible and easily disproven. I mean why even use Dobson against Reinbacher. He's quite literally an example of how production suffers when you're on one of the worst teams in the league and how a change in situation can completely change how a season is perceived.

He was decent, excellent is a stretch.

His team is bad, yes. On that bad team he has had his minutes cut from 20+ last year to around 16+ this year.

my fault I started it by saying Reinbacher is Dobson-lite and that Dobson should win the Norris, clearly my hate has gone too far

Lol, I don't think you're hating at all and being Dobson-lite is completely fine. I agree it wasn't an insult to Reinbacher at all, Dobson had a great development curve after the draft that's still on a steep upwards trajectory.

Too early to tell regarding Reinbacher, let's wait the end of the season and see where he's at at next year camp.

It sound like the Flyers and the Coyotes had also him at least at the 5th ov last year.

I personally wasn't debating your Dobson-lite take. I was answering your question as to Reinbacher's D+1 year. And I think "excellent" is apt. I thought he was indeed, excellent. One of the better D's at camp/preseason and definitely the best RD. And showed more offensive flair than he's getting credit for. I'd say that easily equates to excellent for an 18 year old, European defenseman. Not only his first taste of the NHL, but his first taste of North American hockey. But it's all subjective...depends on how you want to look at it. I just don't trust the euro leagues as much.

Playing in the Q vs playing in the Swiss League, you can’t possibly compare. IMPOSSIBLE.

Jayden Strubke D+1+2+3+4 years were tracking horribly, and now he’s everyone’s flavor of the week.

Who cares!
