I like the Ekholm comparative, Slavin has zero physicality to his game whereas Redenbacher isn’t scared to use his body to defendCould we say Reinbacher is the next Slavin ??
Did you watch the 11 games he played down the stretch in Laval where he scored a highlight reel goal in a must win game against Belleville? That occurred in his 1st AHL game. He finished with 5 points and was a plus 6. He also was on the 1st PK unit in game one through the 11 games. That's the sample size you should look at instead of 2 meaningless games.For a 20 year old 5th overall pick who has played few seasons against men, he looked pretty underwhelming considering the quality of the tourney.

I have a bad feeling that this kid will be a whipping boy for years to come no matter how good he becomes.And even then he was great in the 2 games.
I hope this forum is not like that. It's our job to defend the kid. Bashers will get tired one day or maybe if Mich is becoming a bust they will stop.I have a bad feeling that this kid will be a whipping boy for years to come no matter how good he becomes.
It could be but I think his game is pretty mature. I would not be suprised if he was up in the NHL midway through the season once he is adapted to the smaller ice.I didn't see reinbacher play today and I'm not buying the doom, But I caught a bit of michkov and man he is the real deal he looks so special. Imagine michkov and demidov....
And even then he was great in the 2 games.
Just a bunch of low confidence posters who like to trash on our top picks over and over. Imagine being a "fan" of a team and doing that? Glad Slaf proved many wrong and Reinbacher will no doubt do the same.I have a bad feeling that this kid will be a whipping boy for years to come no matter how good he becomes.
I thought Norlinder was ass last year during camp. Never understood the comments saying he was good. I'm seeing the same thing regarding Mailloux's 2 games, which is just as puzzling.Gotta go with the Snake Boisvert take here : rookie tournament games mean nothing at all. Look good, I don’t care, look bad I don’t care either.
Hell, even preseason can be misleading. Norlinder had a great camp last year
MSL said he he wasn't as good in the 2nd game.

No he said he wasn't bad in the first game and took a step in the 2nd.
It’s the kind of player you win withHonestly, yeah. I haven't thought about Michkov since like last November or something when DR was struggling and have pretty much exiled him from my mind since the Demidov pick.
All we did was essentially switch drafts. If we take Michkov last year, we don't take Demidov this year and probably take a big D. There is literally no point in worrying about Michkov at all.
I didn't like the Reinbacher pick because I think you should always shoot for upside, especially in a top 5 pick. But if he turns into a steady minutes eater that is a staple in our top 4, then I'll at least be fine with it.

I believe it was Osgood Schlatters . I had similar as a teen growing 8 inches in a yearNo, he had some type of knee pain that was a condition.. not related to the knee injury he suffered at the Worlds.
My brother and i both got that, was pretty awful for a few yearsI believe it was Osgood Schlatters . I had similar as a teen growing 8 inches in a year
You need to stop lusting after that russian manlet, he doesn’t belong to usMeh, watched a half dozen. I would have never taken him over Demidov, not in a million years. Would take him over Reinbacher 10/10 times though, and I'm don't think I'm alone

It's tiresome that every prospect thread that has anything to do with Reinbacher, Michkov or Demidov all turns into the same thing.Exactly.....they should just make a thread for the Michkov nonsense so we can segregate that conversation from the rest of the board. I can then choose to ignore that thread and Voila! ....it will disappear.

I felt like they kept him with the team to boost his value on the market for the other teams and tried to have an offer from him because he didn't stood out at all last yearI thought Norlinder was ass last year during camp.
