The reason(s) are Barron, Mailloux, or Reinbacher. Don't think it was specifically for Reinbacher.

Reinbacher I seen his draft year was good two-way defenseman. I think I had him #7 in draft. I figured him #2 NHL with upside. Then post draft year he backslid. Seen him in Laval looked like guy we drafted.

He has really improved his puck handling. He just needs to clean up certain parts of his game, but I like the progression he's shown this summer.

He’s disruptive defensively. He has a great understanding of his reach and skating ability and is able to be aggressive to force opponents to make low percentage plays or draw them offside. He angles them to the outside along the boards. A very smart player.

Apart from being great in transition, he is known for punching in and joining late in the rush. MSLs system will work very well with his skill set.
Ever since seeing him at the WJC, I was in awe with how easily he covered all the ice. He will be a PERFECT D partner for Hutson

I'm pretty sure he's made some small adjustments to his footwork in the off season, his turns in particular look a lot smoother. A healthy knee will help that too, obviously. He'll be knocking at the door of the big team quite soon, there's zero doubts in my mind.

I do Three bullets.
IF Savard is traded then yes (but God, more and more I feel like you should hang onto him for vet purposes AND he would be the dream #3RD lol)
But there is no doubt Reinbacher is on the team for 25-26
Easily

He might have the easiest pro transition out of our entire prospect pool. There's really not much left he needs to work on to play his type of game at the top level. It's only a matter of having a spot for him.
I love his skating style. Smooth and powerful. Can’t wait to see how he evolves.

We could just resign him as UFA in the summer...

That's cool too.
I'm just not comfortable with all 3 of Reinb., Mailloux, Barron as the 3RDs for the next 6-7 years
Rather have a shotblocking Vet as #3RD, and Savvy fits that to a tee

Love him getting in some hockey like this mere weeks away from training camp
Barron, Mailloux and whoevers looking at that #3RD spot this season better be looking over their shoulders man lol

As much as I’ve liked elbows since he came into the league, hes always hurt and will get paid LARGE. Type of contract that won’t end well

He's going to hit the ground running at the big camp, for sure, it's the best preparation possible. Barron has an NHL contract though and they won't risk putting him on waivers, so he's got a big advantage going in. It's only a question of time for popcorn in any case, he'll get a spot before too long.

No thank you.
I always liked him when he was younger, but isn't a good piece to add for the team. Injuries don't help him.

What does he do really well?
I've watched clips in the past, I've seen most of Montreal's vids on him, and I watched the full game from yesterday and I'm still not sold on where his upside is going to come from.
You can be good without being flashy, but you still have to be good. What's he (really) good at?

You are opening the doors to mass abuse, I got your back though. Get ready for the standard 'he closes the gap so well' 'puck transition' 'first pass is amazing' 'see's the ice like a pro already even though he rarely scores' 'hard to move' , 'plays the body like a stud'
I'll grab some popcorn and keep an eye on the responses you get!

Demidov is a HAB
He's a big, rangy defender who will be able to skate and defend against any forward in the NHL. The skating and reach allows him to shut down the fast skilled guys, the size and skating allows him to defend bigger guys.
His puck poise and reading of the game is also something he does really well. He can get you out of high pressure situations and put his team on the attack.
He's in the Vlasic, Suter, etc type of defenseman. Roman Hamrlik is a recent ish version of what he can be like.
