I do Three bullets.
A very fair assessmentReinbacher is a smooth skating, two way RD with solid size. Those guys will play in the NHL every time assuming their head is on straight and they stay healthy.
How good he’ll be is the question. You can be a 1D who fits that description, or a bottom pair who fits that description, what separates them is how good those two way abilities are. If he’s putting up 50+ points while being a shutdown D he’s a 1D all day. If he’s putting up 20ish points while being solid defensively he’s probably more of a 4 or 5 on a contender.
Think we will gain a lot of information this year. If he has a disappointing season, it might be time to mentally prepare ourselves for him being more of a solid player than star. But on the other hand he could well break out in the AHL and emerge as a top prospect or even better make the big club and have himself an impressive rookie season at 19
Secretly, I want Hutson-Reinbacher as our 1st pair to start the AHL season
Think they dominate too
