That would be the most logical lineup and situation in my books. I assume Mailloux/Reinbacher would have to outplay both Struble and Barron to earn a spot in the top-6. That would send down struble down to the AHL and keep Barron as the number 7 which is not ideal for a young defenseman.Yeah going into camp, I think we'll come out of camp with the following 7 on opening night:
Matheson Guhle
Hutson Savard
Xhekaj Strubke
Barron
But a lot can happen in camp. Mailloux or Reinbacher could steal a spot. Though, I think those two could benefit from some "overdevelpment" in Laval.
Do you get more money if we click on the video and get to YouTube as opposed to watching in the embedded version?thanks, it is a lot of work so it's great when posters just click on the links to my vids since I have over 1200 vids I believe as it helps keep the channel going.

A part of me really wants to see Reinbacher earn a spot since it is only a matter of when and not if he passes both struble and barron on the defenseman depth chart. All four defensemans should see NHL action due to injuries that occurs every year. I think if Reinbacher earns a spot this season at training camp, I'm not expecting him to ever look back and really seize his opportunity unlike Barron.
I like his physical growth, went from 6'2 185 to 6'3 209 to probably even being bigger this season. He really opened my eyes with his late season performance alongside bisson. Good pker, +6 with 5 pts in 11 games deployed in a defensive role is pretty good. I wished if would have generated more pucks on net that's my only small negative on his performance and the fact it was a small sample size so I remain cautious.
I find promoting Maillloux before Reinbacher would bring more redundant element to the lineup even though he is older and has one full AHL year under his belt. Reinbacher still has 2 years played at the pro level and his strong defensive game makes me think he could be nhl ready even if that remains to be seen at training camp.
David Reinbacher on the Austrian Olympic qualifying roster. He's on the 25 man roster of the Austrian Ice Hockey Association.
Personally I've been suggesting Struble as our best leftie option at RD. He looked very solid on that side when he found himself inverted.
I also saw highlights of some very solid play out of him on RD when he was at Northeastern.

I was extremely impressed by Reinbacher the entire game. Dude looks like a monster on the ice. EP lists him at 6 foot 2, that seems too low. I would guess he’s 6 foot 4 now. Great reach in both offensive and defensive zone. Also has a smart knack to get the puck from the point to the net. I expect many goals in the future from Reinbacher to Slaf or Dach standing in front of the net and tipping pucks in.
I’m not saying he makes the team out of camp but I would not be surprised at all if he made it. And by the end of the year is playing in the top 4
He’s already better then Mailloux in my eyesHe would have to be REALLY better than Barron and Mailloux, considering one can't be sent down and the other one already paid his dues. First injury on the right side he's there.
He’s already better then Mailloux in my eyes
All around perhaps, but Mailloux brings a level of toughness along with elite offensive skills.He’s already better then Mailloux in my eyes
I really don’t think we will ever see Hutson in Laval, another year of off season training should bulk him up to a more favourable NHL size and in turn should make him quicker and stronger, he’s gonna be a special player and he will have the offensive power at forward to finish his plays and pad his stats….season can’t start soon enough!!I think he will join at some point but he may be victim of the waivers game on defense. Likely comes up when we can trade Savard or if we move Barron in a deal, something like that.
Hutson, Mailloux and Reinbacher are really not that far from the NHL and I wouldn't be surprised if Engstrom looks pretty close too.
Would be kind of fun, even if it's very short lived.. to see Hutson-Reinbacher, Engstrom-Mailloux down in Laval.
I dont think it would be the right move if that's the case. I dont want him to be a Brett Pesce. I want him to impact the game more offensively. Get him going in the AHL. There is no point of starting him in the NHL. Get him acclimatize to NA, to the smaller rink. Get him 2nd PP. He will get a few games anyway this year and next year bring him full time with Demidov.My gut tells me he will have great camp and make team. Looks like he's ready
Usually they develop faster learning tidbits from veteran like Savard than in AHL. Don't want this to be another Edvinsson.I dont think it would be the right move if that's the case.

I am a big fan, only think he has the impostor syndrome getting drafted 5th overall. He does not seem like he has a ton of confidence with the puck or willing to take risks, skate with it, getting more arrogant, pushing, getting more physical, etc.
Agree. They traded Kovacevic (RD) for a reason.My gut tells me he will have great camp and make team. Looks like he's ready
Impressive showing by Reinbacher so far.
I can see now why Habs scouts are all high on him.
His is smooth, great stick at defensive zone, calm, have great positioning aswell, great first pass, great skating, he is big, he can hit, he have good shot, great hockey IQ in offense and defense.
He have everything we want in a top pairing D.
