Prospect Info: David Reinbacher

[Trabdy2]

So, if Visp and Olten both lose their series, does that mean EHC kloten don't play the relegation series against Ajoie?

Yes. We want BOTH teams to lose. IF only 1 team win, Kloten has to play against Ajoie.

Series so far as 2-0 against Visp. And 1-1 for the other. Safe to say that the closest series is the one Olten plays. Though GKC has won every game in the regular one but 1....and the last one in the playoffs.

 

[Whitesnake]

Shit...Olten ties it. 19 minutes to go.

 

[Adam Michaels]

Shit...Olten ties it. 19 minutes to go.

GCK Lions take a 4-3 lead.

 

[Whitesnake]

Around 5 minutes to go for both teams...the good guys are leading.

 

[Adam Michaels]

- Visp lose 3-1. Are down 3-0 in their series.

- Olten lose 5-3. Are down 2-1 in their series.

 

[Redux91]

- Visp lose 3-1. Are down 3-0 in their series.

- Olten lose 5-3. Are down 2-1 in their series.

 

[Adam Michaels]

Visp can be eliminated as soon as Friday if they lose.

Game 4 of Olten is also on Friday. Game 5 is on Sunday. So hopefully they lose both and by Monday, Reinbacher will be on his way.

 

[FLHabs]

Reinbacher is going to dominate once he gets to Laval, calling it right now hehe

 

[Hinterland]

Reinbacher will be on his way.

Again, my understanding is that that's more of a possibility than a certainty. It's yet to be determined.

It's a certainty that he's coming. What is left to be determined is when.

Right now, Kloten is on standby waiting to see if they will need to play a relegation series against Ajoie. Because if Visp and Olten both lose, then Kloten and Ajoie won't need to play each other, and Reinbacher is free to come over.

 

[Hinterland]

It's a certainty that he's coming. What is left to be determined is when.

Next season? Yes. This season? Possible but not a certainty by any means. Plans will be made when Kloten's season is over. Him having other commitments in Switzerland and the option to play for Austria are the reasons why Reinbacher may or may not fly to Canada ahead of summer. We'll see.

 

[skidcells]

Visp looses. Now down 3-0 in their series. Olten also loses, now down 2-1 in their series. Almost there for Reinbacher to come over to NA

This is why I said that if Visp and Olten lose their semi-final series, Reinbacher will come over. Because he has no other commitment in Switzerland if both those teams lose. And in a best case scenario, he will be available to fly over on Monday.

The only commitment he has in Switzerland now is practicing while being on standby to see what happens with Visp and Olten.

That is untrue. He's got classes until around ~ the end of June and he's got a 50% job (internship) until ~ the end of July. He'll have to write exams as well. While there are remote options for his job and classes, I don't think there are for the exams. And even if, him having those commitments certainly complicates things. That is tough to do when you're in a different time zone and expected to learn a new system, get used to new coaches, new teammates. Under these circumstances it's unclear if it even makes sense to go there. Like I said, it will be determined once Kloten's season is over.

edit: just looked it up. Official end of semester for Reinbacher is 12 July.

He's coming over once his commitments with Kloten are over.

Talk to those covering Montreal who have direct knowledge that the Habs will bring him over as soon as he no longer needs to be with Kloten. And the plan is to bring him over to play in Laval. Even Thibaud Chatel, who covers the NL said that he'd be on his way over as soon as his year with Kloten is officially over.

Only way his arrival comes next year is if Kloten has to play Ajoie and that series goes to 7 games. And then if they need to play one of Olten or Visp and that series goes to 7 games. Then by the time all that is done, his arrival will likely be pushed to next year.

Again. That's not what I'm hearing and I don't think these plans exist. Plan is gonna be made once Kloten's season is over. And again, it would be very difficult for the player to get used to a new team with new coaches, new players and a new system all while having these commitments. I'm not sure he'd be much more for Laval than just another body. All of this will no doubt factor into the decision re whether it makes sense for him to Canada ahead of the summer or not.

We're going in circles here.

I'll trust those who have knowledge that the plan is to bring him over once everything is officially done with Kloten.

 

[Gaylord Q Tinkledink]

Visp looses. Now down 3-0 in their series. Olten also loses, now down 2-1 in their series. Almost there for Reinbacher to come over to NA

So if both those teams lost there's no relegation round for Reinbacher ?

 

[Hinterland]

Like I said. I understand the excitement of wanting to watch a high pick and of course the media is gonna report on the matter but don't get your hopes up. You're of course free to believe whatever you want but from what I understand, if Reinbacher does board a flight to Canada ahead of summer at all, it would be most likely more for the experience than anything else. For now, Reinbacher just has too much on his plate, especially with the possibility to play for Austria as well.

 

[The Last Red]

I don't see any reason for the "big rush" to get him over here. He'll either be very good . . . or not. A month in the AHL now is not going to make a difference long term.

He will play. He won't just be there to be around. He and Engstrom will come over and both will play. Similar to how Norlinder was brought over and played when his season in Sweden was done. Similar to how Heineman was brought over and played when his year in Leksand was done last year.

They might get a few practices in before being put in the line-up. But they will play.

 

[Hinterland]

I don't see any reason for the "big rush" to get him over here. He'll either be very good . . . or not. A month in the AHL not is not going to make a difference big picture.

It would be a nice experience for the kid I guess. I'm sure Reinbacher wants to play. But yeah. I agree. For his development it's irrelevant. With so much on his plate I don't think he'd be much of a help for either team anyway in just a few weeks.

 

[Adam Michaels]

So if both those teams lost there's no relegation round for Reinbacher ?

Correct.

However, if only one of them wins their semi-final series, then Kloten and Ajoie will have to play a relegation series. I thougt Visp or Olten had to win the Swiss League playoffs in order to earn a shot at moving up. However, they only need to win their semi-final series. I believe if both win their semi-final series and Visp and Olten have to play in the final, then it's whoever wins that one.

Either way, if one or both make the final, Kloten will have to take on Ajoie.

I've noticed you talking about stress and difficulty adjusting...

You do understand were talking about a pro hockey player who was picked 5th overall ?

These are what essentially amount to non factors. He won't be another body for Laval either. He'll be treated as a premium prospect like Xhekaj and Mailloux have been.
