Back To Tanking
Markov was an absolute steal in the 6th round. In a 1998 re-draft he probably goes top 5 , maybe even top 3. He ended up being better than Allen , Stuart and Vishnevsky who went 3-4-5th overall. We could make a case for Regehr i guess as he was an absolute defensive beast in his prime but that's probably it. When you look at it with hindsight Markov is probably the best D coming out of the 1998 class.
So yeah if Reinbacher ends up having the same impact as Markov then we get a future top pairing D in our hands. Let's hope that's the case
the valiant effort
settle down, bud

Man looking at the names in the 1998 draft and trying to compute they were all drafted 26 years ago :/

I would say so (I watched him live once and I watched 5 of his 8 games). He's really more dynamic that I anticipated and you can see that he has more skills than anybody on ice. He skates well, he like to get in the action in the offensive zone. He's overcommiting sometimes, trying to do too much but he can repair his own mistakes most of the time. There's glimpse of him doing incredible things too.
He's not NHL ready of course, but he's already one of the best D in Laval.

I say 3rd overall
1) Datsyuk
2) Lecavalier
3) Markov
As late as Markov was selected, Datsyuk went even later.

If he has a great camp - which I expect he will - he'll make the team next year. I don't see any need for him to play a full year in the AHL, we will have a good enough NHL d core that he can get sheltered minutes with the big club. And Marty knows how to work with young guys, all signs pointing to him playing with the big club next year.

I think he and Hutson play together in the AHL.

Strong chance Reinbacher has good camp though. Like Slaf this year when everybody wanted him sent down, he may develop better at NHL level. Plus Habs weak on right side. Only sure right shot D we have is Savard. Barron maybe, but that is iffy. Guhle I'd rather see him on his natural side. Seems to get hit more on his off side.

me too and Mallioux starts with the big club next year.. doesn't look back

No way Mailloux starts next year. His defensive game is still a major work in progress.
Pretty sure, we will try Barron first. Give Reinbacher 30 games in the AHL. If Barron can't handle the NHL, trade him. We need to give him one last chance to make the Habs roster.

Yes, Barron is getting the NHL spot unless he shits the bed and someone else is just too strong to go back down. But we can exercise patience and we will.
He is either traded this summer or makes the roster at camp, no way he is getting waived.

The way Hughes carried 3 goaltenders for so long, he isn’t getting waived…
That would be cool, but they are going to have a tough call to make when he proves he is NHL ready next year. He will be D+2 and the best dman drafted that class, I think he proves he belongs like Nemec did. Hardly a stretch for the top dman of his class, smart player, with size who has been playing pro hockey for a few years, to play in the NHL at 20.
I know we have a logjam but can't see them making him play in the AHL if he is NHL ready. Should be a great problem to have!
I think Reinbacher is right on schedule and perhaps a tad behind because of the situation this past season.
The plan was always to play him a full year in the AHL; So call up for injury is possible but full time NHL duty is hard to see until after the TDL.

not according to RDS analysts he's ready to make the jump. He's been the Rockets best D all year. Let him make mistakes and learn at the NHL level.

They would have a Mailloux Trudeau paring playing on the Big club if they could.
Mailloux is not close to being ready his game has been no where near good enough in the past month when we needed him most.
I don't know if it's just me but I don't find him very dynamic skating the puck.

He's never been dynamic. He's an Evan Bouchard clone that can deal with the rough stuff. It's nice to have, but it's a niche player. It's like a Chiarot but instead of being good on the PK he's good on the PP, instead of closing out games he tries to score. He'll be a fine role player, but he's gonna be a 4-5-6 and not a 1-2-3.

He isn't. He's not that agile. I find Reinbacher to be a better skater in all directions.
@Mrb1p I find Bouchard has a much, much higher IQ on offense, he finds seams few defensemen can. Mailloux also has a great shot.
In any case, I don't see either Mailloux or Barron as reasons for this team to pass up on a RHD. I'll also add Silayev plays both sides.
