Prospect Info: David Reinbacher

Reinbacher reminds me of Hamrlik , solid player but I would be surprised if his offense ever pops out like Dobson did.

Probably won't score 70 pts, but he's going to get a lot of points by being partnered with Hutson

Well Hamrlik did have a 65 point season with Tampa. But yes we probably should expect Reinbacher to put up those type of numbers simply because he likely won't be the number 1 PP guy.

 

[Mrb1p]

I think you’re wrong here. Hes a top 4 dman all day long.

So a 4?

I envision him to be a steady presence on our blue line for a long time , hovering about 0.5ppg depending of our team and PP deployment. He's great on breakouts and he has nice size with a long stick. I dont find him very creative on the PP , his play in set plays situation are quite predictable.

I like when he activates and makes himself available in the O zone. Im not worried about him he will be useful for sure , not sure if hes going to be "elite" tho.

That's looking like the floor.

If you can't tell that the ceiling is considerably higher,

How do you see Barron, the next Beaulieu?

I agree but I do think it's a bit funny that Hamrlik was the example you used given that he could and did put up big numbers if given the right situation. Reinbacher's not likely to get PP1 deployment so 0.5ppg is probably the most we should expect, same for Guhle. But even if they don't put up 60 points that doesn't mean they aren't elite simply because putting up those big numbers is as much about opportunity as it is talent.

I think considering we have Hutson already who’s as pure a PP QB as you can get means we don’t need Reinbacher to be that huge point total guy.

That said, I do think we made a mistake going D last year and now likely going Forward this year. I think when we look back on the forwards we could have drafted last year vs the D we will pass on this year, it’ll suggest we should have done it the other way around.

The only good RD that will be available at 5 are Parekh and Yakemchuk, and neither would make much sense to add to our top 4 if we already have Hutson and Mailloux there. Reinbacher is the only defenseman available from last year or this year that makes sense to add in our top 4 since he can play defense well.

 

[MasterD]

I Reinbacher can be as solid 2-way as Hamrlick was for his 4 years here, he'd be the perfect partner for a guy like Hudson. Hamrlik wasn't a great point producer, but a real winner. I take that on my day everyday.

 

[BehindTheTimes]

How do you see Barron, the next Beaulieu?

I’m not sure on Barron, I’ve seen flashes of what he can do, but unfortunately I think he might be one of the Dmen moved. He’s still young and lots of time to improve, but it may not be with us.

Logan Maillioux will be a 1st or 2nd pairing dman without much doubt. The progress this kid has made in a short period of time while also missing a fair bit of developmental playtime is huge. This kid just has it.

 

[HuGort]

And so you can decipher all that from 11 games in the AHL as a teenager in a men's league, or was it all the games he played as a teenager in a men's league in Europe? Is it possible, that if he was in a junior league or in the NCAA he would have far better stats and would be able to show more offense? Also, he's not an all offense defenseman like Parekh who suffers defensively, so do you value dmen that can play defense or not?

Can tell. The difference in skill set. Reinbacher solid D, #3, #2 career year or two. but those guys going to be #1 D. The offensive hands and vision. Dickinson has everything teams are evolving to in playoffs. Size, adds secondary scoring, zone exits. He has all three. I think he is better than Pietrangelo in his draft yesr. Buium topping Fox numbers in College. Parekh could be scary. Best hands I seen since Makar.

Parekh is also scary in the defensive zone. If Hughes decides to go defence with the 5 OA pick there will be a number of much better options including: Dickinson, Buium, Levshunov and Yakemchuk. All of whom would become our best defensive prospect not named Hutson.

Dear Lord, I cannot imagine the amount of shit you guys would be heaping on Larry Robinson before he "arrived".

But even if they don't put up 60 points that doesn't mean they aren't elite simply because putting up those big numbers is as much about opportunity as it is talent.

If you look up his entire career his 65pts season is an outlier.

If Guhle and Reinbacher are what we think they are, Mailloux won't have much ice time, but having him as a trade chip is excellent. If we think long term, we need to replace Matheson via trade for a younger stud on the left side, which is more 2 way than Matheson, so we can play Hutson for what he is good for. There is also an aspect of balancing the pairing with Guhle so that Guhle can also exploit his offence. Right now Guhle is backstopping Matheson, this needs to stop.

 

[Andrei79]

Dear Lord, I cannot imagine the amount of shit you guys would be heaping on Larry Robinson before he "arrived".

I wouldn't even go that far in time. The team had one of the best goaltenders of his generation and even after being dominant in the dub, then winning the Calder cup and posting a .920 save%, he still wasn't afforded any leeway. He was easily the most criticized player since Koivu.

Now that Slafkovsky is playing well, the vultures are circling Reinbacher.

That would interesting. I guess Mailloux could be Matheson's long term replacement.

Right now:
Matheson - Guhle
Hutson - Savard until Reinbacher is ready
Xhekej - Mailloux

Not sure who Harris, Struble, and Barron can beat out

In 2 to 5 years:
Guhle - Mailloux
Hutson - Reinbacher
Xhekaj - ?

Parekh is also scary in the defensive zone. If Hughes decides to go defence with the 5 OA pick there will be a number of much better options including: Dickinson, Buium, Levshunov and Yakemchuk. All of whom would become our best defensive prospect not named Hutson.

You are grossly selling Reinbacher short and Hughes has already communicated that it is unlikely that he would use their top pick on a LD so Dickinson, Silaev and Buium are basically non options. Yakemchuk would be a poor selection that high as he also has defensive issues that unlike Parekh stem from a low hockey IQ.

I don't want Parekh as he is an abysmal defender and his stats are inflated by playing on a team that plays wide open, run and gun hockey where he is permitted to play as a 4th forward.

The only D I think that they would consider at all is Levshunov but I would be very surprised to see them pull the trigger on that one.

Not a bad attempt as the combinations and scenarios are endless. The only real nitpicking that I am going to do is that Matheson imo will move to the right side if he is with Guhle.

If we get that 3rd pick, then I'd pick Levshunov, as I have him 3rd on my list since he's a BPA over the rest of the pack by some margin. I think it's like that:

Celebrini

Demidov
Levshunov

Silayev
Buium
Catton
Lindstrom
Iginla

It is almost impossible for us to end up picking third so you likely needn't lose any sleep over this selection but I agree that he should be the first defender off of the board.

1 chance on 200, about the same odds as eating poutine tonight.

Reinbacher is the only defenseman available from last year or this year that makes sense to add in our top 4 since he can play defense well.

If Reinbacher was drafted by someone else last year, and say we drafted Leonard/Michkov/Dvorsky/Benson instead, would you feel comfortable trading the 5th pick this year for Reinbacher?
