Prospect Info: David Reinbacher

[Jaynki]

What is probably going to happen is he will be transferred to the AHL once the current NL season is over (5 more games?), then NHL next year.

We will see. He might pull a Struble too.

Is it right that Nashville was ready to trade Askarov + ??? to the Habs for pick #5 ?

Or that Philly was willing to trade Cutter Gauthier + ??? for that same #5

If so: Huges was totaly dumb to refuse any of these two trades.... OR... Reinbacher is something really, really special like Slaf.

After what has happened with Slaf, I am willing to trust the process. None of us on here, would fully realize what Reinbacher can truly bring....
I can't understand why the Preds want that kid goalie gone? And are also dangling Saros too?
And obviously the Flyers were only willing to trade their kid, was because he wouldn't play for them....as to why? remains private which would be an issue for Hughes.

 

[Mrb1p]

Is he doing good ? Haven't had time to follow lately with work, ,gym, uni and snowboarding.

 

[rik schau]

5 more games and then he's going over to the AHL or NHL right? playing as he is now is not taking advantage to show what he can do offensively. They play a relatively risk free style and he does not as much attacking as you see in Montreal or Laval style of play. He does have solid awareness and is seldom looking out of position,he does look good and dependable defensively. For his sake I don't want to see him do another season with his current team as that would not be helpful as he is not growing his offensive capabilities.

His team gonna have to play in relegation round, so more than 5 games.

Reinbacher is loaned to Kloten, Habs can recall him and assign to the AHL/Habs if they want, he doesn't have to play the relegation rounds.

Trading the 5 OA pick for Askarov would be criminally stupid.....this is why Askarov is still with Nashville as no team with a top ten pick was interested in trading for a G prospect with such a high pick. There is no reason to believe that Gauthier was offered to Hughes either.

He doesn't but if they were gonna pull him, they probably would have done it when the changed coaches the 3rd time. Think they'll want him to have the experience of playing in the relegation round as it still is a play-offs of sort and good experience.

Agreed. And it would be a dick move to leave his team in a tough situation all for... Coming a week earlier to NA.

How ever it goes, another famous Austrian, Herr Schwarzenegger has some sage advice, GET THE HELL OUT OF HERE. lol

Wow I'm glad you went with Arnold here.

 

[CristianoRonaldo]

I don't think people are excited enough about landing Catton. He's 100% gonna be available when they pick and I like him better than Smith who everyone here was praying would fall to 5th last year. I see him as a 90+ point player at his peak and ppg in his prime.

We wanted Smith to fall, because we knew Kent would pass on Michkov.

There's actually pretty good reason to believe that Gauthier was offered for 5th overall. Not that it would have been the right move



There's more doubt about whether Gauthier would have signed with us or if it was straight up, but there are definitely reasons to believe it was offered

The kid is a competitor and will play for his team until the end to help them. Plenty of time to come to NA after.

It seems the kid only wants to play for a US based team.

 

[Estimated_Prophet]

No, they said he was the best RHD in the draft. Hughes was pretty clear about that. And it might be a great pick . . . only time will tell.

LOL

And they considered the best RHD in the draft to be the best available player in the draft, the fact that you read that as passing on players that they believed to be better says a lot about your argument.

The reading comprehension on this board is abysmal as so many people can only see their bias and fail to comprehend the actual meaning of the text.

This is just a nonsense riddled hack spewing idiocy on twitter. Like many of the current and former Athletic writers he is an outsider and a hockey dimwit.

If you want to believe that they drafted the player they considered BPA, without any regard to the position that he plays, who am I to stop you? Given that Hughes intimidated that they might not have taken him if he was a LD, as opposed to a RD, that suggests that they didn’t necessarily consider him BPA, but you don’t have to draft BPA, it’s not a rule. Thinking he’s the best available RD doesn’t mean that viewed him as BPA, maybe just the best pick for their needs, which is fine by me. And if helps team win the Cup one day, nobody will care that they passed on MM.

 

[Estimated_Prophet]

I do admire your sense of irony,, I’ll give you that much. If you want to believe that they drafted the player they considered BPA, without any regard to the position that he plays, whom am I to stop you?

Once again you are entirely missing the point and it is both sad and painful to see someone struggle so much.

Them stating that he was the best RHD in the draft has absolutely no relation to to them admitting that he was not the BPA. If you can not grasp that then perhaps I am not a person that you should consider engaging in conversation with.

If you’re BPA, then you’re BPA, regardless of what position you play. Saying that they might not have drafted him if he was a LD suggests that they they didn’t consider BPA as their top criteria when making the pick. Regardless of how pompous of an a-hole you are, which you clearly are, your continued ignoring of what Hughes acknowledged at the draft because you want to believe that they care that much about BPA is laughable.

Man....this is just painful.

They already stated that Reinbacher was not only the best RHD but the best D prospect period so the LH supposition that you have entangled yourself in is entirely moot.

They have made it clear that they will take the player that they believe will be the best player 5 years down the road and positional hierarchies play a role as a tie breaker. Them saying that Reinbacher being a RHD made it more likely that they would draft him only implies that there was another player(s) who they felt were very close to him in value. The fact that they covet RHD's as being at or near the top of their positional hierarchy quite possibly separated him from a player who they may have believed to be similarly valuable in a vacuum that does not include positional consideration. Claiming anything other than this is just an unfortunate example of not fully comprehending the material that has been shared for public consumption.

You have lost yourself in a maze of your own making.

Actually, Hughes saying that if he was a LD they may have passed on him suggest that he was the BPA. If that BPA been a LD they may have passed, but since he wasn’t a LD, they picked him.

Excited to see him suit up with us a bit at the end of this season.

 

[Sam de Mtl]

The way HFboards took a complex concept like assessing individual potential of players 5 years down the road and just turned it into a 3 letters philosophy: BPA, as if there was such a thing, is a thing of beauty.

Especially beautiful is how much people are willing to fight with one another over what BPA means, whether one player was or not BPA, raising questions about whether a team adheres to the BPA philosophy, grasping at straws and small conference press Q&As to assess BPA, etc...

Sometimes I just need my tinfoil hat to protect myself.

I think Reinbacher is going to be a long term guy on D. He's going to be boring to watch in terms of generating points but once he is 22/23, we will start noticing his true potential. Especially with him being paired up with Hutson. They fit each other very well.

Until then, we have to set expectations of a fast developer aside. He has lots to learn once he turns pro. Takes time on D
