No, no and no !! He's not a questionable pick. I don't care about what people say if they are all crazy about Hutson and if they don't mention Reinbacher. I care zero to none about this.
Hutson have the wow factor, he have fantastic moves with his foot speed but it was vs rookies. We have no clue how he will work under hard pressure in his own zone. I trust more Mailloux, Ghule and Reinacher to solve problems in their zone than Hutson. And that's the #1 duty of a defenseman. Hockey is not only an entertaining game to watch. It's not about the funkyest move that will be seen over and over on the NHL highlights of the week. You write like someone who wants a show more than a winning team. Many people explained how subtle the plays of Reinabacher can help a team a lot and you keep posting like if you haven't read anything they wrote.
So I have to explain to you again and it's redundant. And you keep posting what some scouts have wrote about he will be not a PP D and maybe he's gonna be a 3-4 D. I think they were wrong about Reinbacher or they were badly quoted. And if scouts said when Reinbacher will arrive in the NHL, his very first year, maybe he will be a 3-4 D and after a year or 2 he will have #2 D duty. Don't you think there are learning steps with an nhl player?
Why do we have to explain and explain all over again, like with the debates about Slafkowky? I'm happy the success of Slaf calm down the Slaf haters, or the ones who stubbornly said Wright and Cooley were better. The same thing will happen with Reinbacher. Habs will win games and Reinbacher will be a reason for the wins. A good hockey analyst said one day that a good defenseman is a D you don't notice. He does his job of ending opposite forwards, the puck go away fast to his wingers and he doesn't spend much time in his zone. It' not flashy but it's efficient.
