Prospect Info: David Reinbacher

[Gravity]

Thanks. That's fair. I know nothing about the guy, except that half of the board here wanted him at the draft.

I wanted CC or Krebs. Was really high on Krebs.

 

[NORiculous]

Best top 5 pick since Carey ?

Reinbacher might be good but Michkov will be better. So he will forever be compared to the superstar level. Pressure is on.

 

[Kwikwi]

How do we come back from this?

you look at Vegas team
Big D Core
Mid range offence
Cheat the cap during playoff
Profit

 

[HabzSauce]

Very true. Im just letting it play out for a few years. If it doesnt work, i will be first to admit i want these guys fired.

You're too late bud. There is already a bunch of folks that want his head after tonight lmao

 

[yasky]

Gonna go out on a limb and guess Michkov gave the impression he wasn't really interested in playing for Montreal.

FWIW Arizona had Reinbacher in their sites to replace Jakob Chychrun. Time will tell but in a few years Guhle/Reinbacher/Huston could be the top 3 here.

 

[NORiculous]

Presumably that means trading for a guy like Hart/Askarov or going for a UFA in a year or two or three, because goalies take forever, if they draft someone you won't see him winning games in Montreal for 4-5 years.

Yeah they will most probably trade for a goalie, in any scenario at this point.

It's not the kids fault. I wish him the very best and hope he turns out to be a stud. This is squarely on management for me.

 

[Habitant#1]

Doesn't sounds like this guy has a mean bone in his body. You'd think a guy like this would at least have a mean streak.

 

[NORiculous]

Yes, but he will feel the pressure anyway.

 

[Sagikev]

Guhle and Reinbacher are average nhl defenceman size.

Please people, stop with the narrative that they are big

You can be big or you can play big. They play big, so does Xhekaj. We'll have a big and mean defence

 

[Bring Bak Damphousse]

Just to check in, this is the same board that was dead set against future 3rd liner Brady Tkachuk in favour of Zadina right? Carry on gentlemen, wouldnt be hf habs without your annual meltdown.

He's cool as a cucumber.

 

[le_sean]

Those concerned about offensive potential, usually a great indicator for young defenders is puck transition and he’s already elite at that. If he can carry the puck out of his zone and through the neutral zone on his own, and beat the first defender with his feet, it shows nice upside.

 

[BenchBrawl]

Maybe the experts know better. But I also fear they may be high on their own supply, so to speak. Trust their 'method' a little too much when the obvious truth is in front of their nose.

It's still hard to ignore that this organization under Molson, with a 3OA, 3OA, 1OA and 5OA picks, got Galchenyuk, Kotkaniemi, Slafkovsky and Reinbacher.

I still believe in Slaf and hopefully Reinbacher will be a good one, but for example the Blackhawks with a 1OA and 3OA completely jumpstarted their franchise with Kane and Toews in the 2000s.

Where are the results for us? If this new batch doesn't deliver, then what? I understand I'm mixing up different eras but it was all under Molson ultimately, and since we can suspect he had a hand in us not taking Michkov.

 

[NORiculous]

You can be big or you can play big. They play big, so does Xhekaj. We'll have a big and mean defence

And we have Pezzetta on the offense lol

I'm still upset about Price over Brule

 

[Adam Michaels]

It’s very different.

Trading one of them will never bring you a generational talent.

With the kids getting better (and healthier) they won’t have access to talent like Michkov in futur drafts.

Price was identified as a potential franchise player. Is Reinbacher a potential franchise player?

Michkov isn't the only one who would come in and have an impact. There are other players that can come in and help the team win.

If Michkov comes to the league and has 90-100 point seasons, but his team doesn't go far when it matters, but Reinbacher is having 30-40 point seasons but he helps the Canadiens go deep into the playoffs and be contenders, does it really matter if they missed out on Michkov?

He have superstar potential?

 

[Adam Michaels]

Any clips anywhere? Sound clips I mean?

He said it when he was being interviewed by the panel at TVA Sports.

 

[Boardish]

Slafkovsky and Reinbacher

or

Jiricek and Fantilli?


Yeah, disappointed.

 

[Seb]

Can't wait to see him and Guhle dominate the D zone. Carey Price must be incredibly jealous.

 

[JT3]

Reinbacher said that it will be up to the Canadiens to decide if they want him to come over to NA or go back to Europe. He has a clause in his contract in Switzerland that allows him to come over as of next year.

I would bring him over to the A for sure. Same route as Jiricek and Nemec.

 

[Stoneburg]

The guy had almost three times as many as Roman Josi in his draft year and had the third most points on the Austrian Junior team, but he has no offense, according to posters here.
He had more than double the penalty minutes compared to Josi, in his draft year, but isn't physical.
If he is 90% the player Josi is, I think everyone will be happy.

 

[Naslund]

Talks of prioritizing school gives me vibes of Louis LeBlanc and the Harvard drama.

 

[Kudo Shinichi]

Slafkovsky and Reinbacher

or

Jiricek and Fantilli?


Yeah, disappointed.

That makes no sense.
We had no shot at Fantili, and nobody had Jiricek going 1st overall or even top 3 last draft.
